zeroHouse

The zeroHouse is a compact, prefabricated house that is easily shipped and quickly assembled. It features a full kitchen, bath, and all elements to comfortably support four adults. What sets the zeroHouse apart from other prefab structures is the ability to operate independently, without the need for any external connections. The zeroHouse generates its own power, processes its own waste, collects and stores rainwater, and requires minimal maintenance.

“Best for people who wish the Jetsons were real.”
– Popular Mechanics

zeroHouse can be used in many applications, including residential uses in remote or ecologically sensitive locations, as ecotourism resort units, or as living/office modules for remote employment such as mining, construction, or relief agency uses. With the zeroHouse you can live anywhere – comfortably.
