What is sustainable about a home that you can't cook in?
Living in a hurricane state I've learned that it's possible to cook nearly anything on a grill.

#22I saw this the other day, it seems slightly more practical:
It can also be upgraded as you need / can afford more space.

#24The open stairs going over the kitchen (!!), and the bed with nearly no protection barrier are two bad points that strike me in the prototype

#25Make it modular and expandable, have like a 'base house' with the kitchen, 1st bath, 1st bed, and living room then then add the ability to add Bedrooms, and Bathrooms as 'modules' -- basically a house building block system, --that would be cool.
This is a really cool idea. It would be awesome if the walls were also modular enough that you can take the glass doored walls off the original structure and put them on the new pieces you purchase.
yeah definitely -- you could even potentially pick which wall to slide the 'window panels' into, so you could move your windows to a different wall entirely.

#26This is great but adding a shower would be a huge improvement towards making it a more feasible choice.
Because as a general rule: every day I need to sleep, eat/drink, urinate/defecate and shower/bathe. Enable all those functions and you have a compelling product/price.

#27Isn't this just a fancy mobile home?
There is quite a market for them, don't knock it. Buy a cheap lot somewhere, pour a slab, wheel the tiny house into place, nice starter home for a young'un in one weekend flat.
Why do you even need the slab? Just get some concrete blocks, bring the home in, put in a septic tank...and you are in business.
Bonus if you live in the boonies and have to burn your trash.

Protective barrier? For falling out of bed?

#29And they will still sell it for 1 million in Silicon Valley.

#30Quite dangerous to sleep like that, right over the stairs...You can easily fall down. Also it looks like its going to be hard to get in/out of the bed.
