1.Coodo
A couple of years ago, German entrepreneur Mark Dare Schmiedel was fed up with Berlin chaos and decided to move to the countryside, building his own quirky loft on the banks of the River Spree. The peace, tranquility and zen that followed made him wonder if it was possible to create a similar yet mobile form of home that could provide the same shelter to others. While looking for such privacy, he stumbled upon a mobile home concept developed by a group of Slovenian architects called "Coodoo". Schmiedel then acquired the rights to develop the concept through his company LTG Lofts to Go and began manufacturing the units. Modular homes are designed to bring you closer to nature, away from the crowds, where you can truly enjoy the beauty of the moment.
It features a curved and minimal steel frame with rounded edges and stunning floor-to-ceiling glass walls. Beautiful glass walls allow a generous stream of sunlight to enter the home. On rooftops in the city, on the beaches, in the mountains or on the banks of the river, Coodo can be easily installed almost anywhere.

8. The Slope House
Slope House by 3D visualizer Milad Eshtiyaghi is an unconventional A-frame cab that uses biophilic design inside and out. 3D visualizer and international architect Milad Eshtiyagi has long been attracted to escapist hideouts perched on rocky coastal cliffs and isolated huts conceived under the northern lights. Today he turns his eyes to tiny houses. A slightly whimsical 3D rendering of Eshtiyagi shows an angular wooden hut perched atop an idyllic hillside somewhere in the Brazilian rainforest.

Dubbed the Slope House, the wooden cab has a signature triangular frame, which is a clever design over the conventional A-frame cab. Defined by two modules, one internal volume houses the bedroom and the other contains the main living areas of the house, such as the dining room, kitchen and office. The tiny hut from Eshtiyaghi is believed to be based on a truss system that was specifically chosen to minimize the house's impact on the pre-existing landscape.
pros

- The design and shape of the house may seem too eccentric to some.
