Compact Cube Homes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Mike Page's Cube Home is Compact and Eco-Friendly

— May 11, 2011 — Eco
Step inside Mike Page's Cube Home and get the feel of a big space in a petite place!

University Professor Dr. Mike Page had big plans for a puny place, and the results of his work have been radical. Dr.Page's Cube House is an entire eco-friendly home in a tiny 3 x 3 x 3 metre frame. This may sound too compact for comfort, but Page has designed the humble home very carefully, utilizing every bit of space.

Mike Page's Cube Home is two floors, and contains all of the common living areas that one would require. Every piece of furniture is built on a smaller scale than usual and fits into the place perfectly. The home has solar panels on its roof, which provides it with energy, thereby costing the dweller less to maintain the home. It was also designed with no windows; since it really is so tiny, it would overheat very quickly.

Take a tour through Mike Page's eco-friendly Cube House and get a taste of living in sync with the environment.
