There are tons of cool tiny houses out there.
But when the little dwelling is the result of a group effort, it seems like an extra special tiny house.
Take this tiny house complex built by a group of longtime friends in the Llano River in Texas. They wanted a getaway where they, and their families, could gather and re-connect. So they built one.
Even more remarkable is that their home is also environmentally conscious and uses solar power, much like an exceptional tiny house we recently stumbled upon called “Halo Home.”
Halo Home is the fruit of almost 30 people’s labor. A team of 26 students and three faulty advisors spent two years on this project located in Göteborg, Sweden. It was also built as an for entry for the Solar Decathlon China and its interior — and what it’s capable of — is just as striking as its unique exterior…
The team that built Halo House consisted of students from 12 different nations.
They had a well-balanced team and students had backgrounds in architecture, structural engineering, building physics, and project management.
They wholeheartedly felt like their diversity was their greatest strength.
It is a sustainable structure that can comfortably fit four students.
The shape of the home and its name were inspired by the phenomenon where a circle sometimes appears around the sun’s edge.
This is fitting because the house uses innovative solar technology.
Solar cells double as the roof material, powering the house with energy from the sun.
The interior uses traditional Scandinavian design with its minimalism, light-colored wood, and bright light.
The home boasts lots of hidden storage spaces that double in function, serving as both a shelf and a ladder to the lofted beds.
Each of the four raised beds includes a personal light.
The final product is a gorgeous home that combines beauty and responsible technology.
