Arch: Impractical Artsy Homes
Open designed house with 7 courtyards
A house that looks at white vs black
Brazilian House that sticks everything out to extend the house.
I like the library placement in this one, but the idea that a farm can be made on a home in the city is very impractical
This curvy brick home
Underground courtyard with circle passageways
Hien house is basically stairs for every room
Walking in circles house
Minimalist apartment in an attic
The layout is cool but dumb on this one.

This giant house has a single roof
Vast shuttered walls and boxy look and feel
A semi three story house that makes you take the stairs, and then take the stairs. The outside is weird and dark.
Rounded facade for an apartment complex. The concept artist designed it.

I know it gets a lot of shit for being part of the "live in the pod" idea, but I don't have a problem with tiny houses, and would probably preferentially live in one provided it was well-constructed with normal amenities. I've been poor for a long portion of my life, and thus my living spaces have always been very small. I don't own very much, and due to my personality, I never entertain guests, nor do I have any interest in creating a family. I just can't imagine myself owning a big house on a big lot for the sake of resisting globalism, or whatever.
I think a really important aspect of the delineation between small homes and pods is the intended purpose. Pods are, first and foremost, designed to be nothing more than glorified beds with some added luxuries. It's not living, it's barely above surviving. Meanwhile a small home can be a viable type of living.
I think the clearest and best way to see the difference between the two is both the available amenities (pods generally opt for shared amenities, meaning it's not yours), and environment. You can have a little cottage out in a rural area just fine, while a pod is designed to fit as many people in as small a space as possible.
The end result does dramatically differ for the end result. One is a choice. The other is pushed by those that don't have to live in a pod.
You just described life in the navy.
pods are one step above tents and cars, thats about it. when I'm traveling alone I would take that over sleeping in a car. I don't need a full hotel room just for myself.
in fact its just the plain old barracks concept with a trendy name and a bit more privacy. and absolutely unreasonable pricing.
It's an interesting subject because a smart person could have several tiny homes interconnected but obviously separate and have a mansion that cost less than a house with less rooms.
