Everyone is talking about tiny houses and the way you can save money and help the environment at the same time. The Pallet House Project is the creation of the designers at I-Beam Design in which old American pallets are taking the world by storm in the way of designer houses. The idea came to I-Beam Design when they figured out that around 84% of refugees from the world could be given a place to live just by recycling these throw away pallets in just one year. These numbers were figured due to the amount of pallets created in the US in only 1 ½ years, which could actually give 33 million refugees a place to call home in a Pallet House.

With these cheap tiny houses, thousands of people could have a place to call home. The best part of all is that the material to build the home is practically free and the design can be built in less than a day.

The Pallet House was first created by I-Beam Design as transitional shelter for refugees that were returning to Kosovo.

The house is simple and offers a variety of options, so every family can build their home based on their own needs.

Supplies are easy to find as the house is built from wooden pallets.

Only with the materials being easy to find, you only need basic tools to build the house.

Adding other materials like tarps or plastic is also easy to find without cost, since these materials are also often thrown away.

For those wanting to add air conditioning or heat, the design can be upgraded easily. Insulation can also be implemented to help with keeping the home warm or cool.

The creators, I-Beam Design offer the “IKEA-style assembly instructions” to those wishing to build their own home. You do not need any special training as just about anyone can follow the simple instructions.

If you would like an easy to use kit, you can purchase one for a mere $75. The kit includes the PDF plans, renderings, diagrams, photos, elevations, sections, and a list of the material and tools you will need to complete your home.

The home may have been originally designed for refugees, but consider one as your getaway cabin or for one of those relatives that comes unexpected to visit.

It is truly wonderful and unique the things you can create from what others throw out.

Okay, the downside is that the plans do not include indoor plumbing; however, you can still use the plans to create a nice cabin or a playhouse for the kids all from recycled materials.

If you believe these photos are of a charming cabin in the woods, you may be surprised at what this cabin really is. From the outward appearance, it looks like darling cabin; however, due to the architecture you are being deceived. Kelly Davis the designer and architect created this faux cabin but could he be an illusionist instead.

Looks like a charming cabin, right? Well, it is an RV or at least the same size as one.

The beautiful cabin is only 400 square feet, period. Sounds too small to call a home, or does it?

The truth is it is larger than the many one-bedroom apartments.

The cabin, Escape, was designed to be an upscale cabin and certainly not an RV.

Today, Escape is a huge part of the “tiny house movement”. This movement is fast becoming the rave for those that wish to spend less money, as well as reduce their environmental and physical footprint.

It may not resemble an RV; however, it actually fits the standard of the Park Model RV that is up to 400 square feet.

This charming cabin is created with quality materials such as Energy Star appliances, LED lightings, cedar lap siding and more. The best part is that you will never believe it is so small and compact due to the unique design.

Of course, when you decide you want to live in a tiny house, you must make compromises. You will not be able to enjoy a full bathroom or kitchen. On the other hand, look at the gorgeous ESCAPE. I bet you can do without a few luxuries.

This adorable cabin/RV is home at Canoe Bay Escape with beautiful surroundings all around.

Several people are turning to these unique tiny houses to save money as well as the environment.

The cost of this one will run around $79,000, which is more than several RV’s…..

However, if you could live like this, would you go for it?

The charming adorable cabin is not just created to impress or even to meet the standards for a time home, but it is efficient.

“The unit at CanoeBay is heated by a sealed combustion, high efficiency fireplace….there is no furnace. No one has opted for a furnace. The fireplace is rated at over 90% efficient and even through this brutal winter – our temps have consistently been -20 to -35 below zero – the fireplace has easily heated ESCAPE and saved us plenty of money. Remarkably better than even we expected.”

Staying warm without a heating bill, now that is certainly a step up in the right direction. Alek Lisefski of Tiny Project stated, “While living in a such a small house, my space, and in turn each area of my life, will be simpler, less chaotic, and free from all but what is essential.”

Maybe we could all learn from him.
