What will those clever Europeans come up with next?  An all inclusive, all supporting, erm... box... to live in.  With a catchy marketing tagline of "Less stuff, more nature" the Micro Compact Home (or M-CH) provides all of life's basics in a tiny footprint, both in terms of size (2.6m²) as well as resource consumption.  It's sleek, insulated shape means that it uses very little energy, and can even be powered by a solar panel mounted to the mast.  I'm not sure why I find efficiency so undeniably sexy, but M-CH is mine if they ever start shipping to New Zealand.  Check out more specs on the Micro Compact Home website.
