Tiny Prefabricated Houses

This Eco-Friendly Home Can Be Set Up Quickly

— July 11, 2016 — Eco
Greenpod's 'Waterhaus' is a low-maintenance prefabricated house that is created through a simple sustainable design.

The prefabricated houses are each 450 square feet in size, making them larger than the standard small house. The homes are pre-made in a factory and the building and construction of them requires approximately six weeks of time. The insulated panels that make up the Waterhaus can be set up in a matter of days, while each home's solar components are customized to the needs of the buyer. The interior of the Waterhaus is spacious while the exterior is partially black and paneled with wood.

This environmentally friendly prefabricated home is a speedy alternative to other small home designs that is both convenient and functional.
