Adobe structures are some of the oldest buildings, yet still remain some of the most sustainable. These structures naturally regulate temperature indoors, are made from natural materials, and are able to withstand some of the harshest climates.
Tiny houses are becoming a big deal. They offer the freedom from a mortgage (at least a big one) and are exponentially more sustainable than a traditional housing structure.
So, what is a tiny house? Technically, a tiny house is under 400 square feet. These can remain on wheels or be built on a foundation. The houses that remain on wheels are generally even smaller, constituting a micro house (stay tuned for an article on these little dwellings next week).
