Tiny homes have become a social movement we can’t ignore. People all over the world are choosing to downsize the space they live in for a happier life.

In the U.S., for instance, the typical American home is around 2,600 square feet, but the typical tiny home is only between 100 and 400 square feet. They come in all shapes, sizes, and forms, but they all have one thing in common: they allow simpler living in a smaller, more efficient environment.

People have joined this movement for many reasons, whether it be concerns over the environment or their own finances or the desire for more time and freedom. Most Americans spend one-third to one-half of their entire income on their homes, which means they spend 15 years working just to pay for it.

This has caused 76 percent of Americans to live paycheck to paycheck. But for what? People who turn to this movement are done trying to prove themselves. They just want a lifestyle that can make them feel good from the inside out.

The Cardboard Home

As mentioned above, tiny homes come in many forms. But have you heard of one made out of cardboard? While most people wouldn’t think this type of material to be suitable for building a comfortable and safe abode, award-winning architects have discovered how to use it to produce remarkably sturdy and reliable shelters. Dutch design studio Fiction Factory has created a design for a tiny “micro home” using cardboard. Complete with a multitude of applications, such as disaster relief, they claim it can last up to 100 years.

Called the Wikkelhouse, or “wrapper house,” the home is made of tough corrugated cardboard panels that adhere to each other with a non-toxic and environmentally-friendly glue.

They've got the Tiny House beaten by $10k. Hope somebody reports on their progress and durability.... but if "A completed version of a basic Wikkelhouse comes in at around $80,000 USD" you can still get a fine stick-built house for not much more than that in my area -- mebbe the same if there are additional Wikkelhouse costs for installation, transport, land purchase etc.

Electricity, plumbing and a heating system would add to the cost as well as land cost which is a major factor.

Question: Is the $80,000 house in your area near the end of its useful life? This Wikkelhouse is supposedly good for 100 years.
