Building and Construction

Custom Container Living has transformed a shipping container into an ultra-compact tiny house that squeezes a home for two into 160 sq ft. Though certainly basic, it also doesn't break the bank at just $39,900.

As its name suggests, the Library tiny house is focused around the owner's love of books. Designer Backcountry Tiny Homes also added a light-filled layout and some nice home comforts, including a bathtub, a standing loft, and a reading space.

It may be mostly used for packaging, but cardboard is a surprisingly capable building material in the right hands, as highlighted by Shigeru Ban Architects with its eye-catching Blue Ocean Dome, which was created for Expo 2025.

What this tiny house lacks in portability, it makes up for with a remarkably spacious 400-sq-ft layout that isn't too far off the size of a small inner-city apartment, and includes a light-filled living area and large porch.

President Trump's latest big move in the Middle East doesn't involve a peace treaty, nor a trade deal, but instead a supertall skyscraper in Dubai that the Trump Organization and developer DarGlobal says will boast the world's highest outdoor pool.

With its understated exterior and simple open layout for two, this recently completed tiny house doesn't offer some of the bells and whistles of larger and more luxurious models, but does come in at a reasonable price of just $61,250.

It may not be visible to the rest of the world, but there's a revolution going on in China right now that will almost certainly have repercussions for everyone.

Architects never seem to tire of experimenting with shipping containers. This neat example of the metal boxes' versatility consists of three customized containers which create a spacious home that includes multiple outdoor areas.

The Quantum SE tiny house is a relatively spacious model that includes an open and light-filled interior and a downstairs bedroom. The towable home also maximizes space by offering a neat rooftop terrace area.

3D-printed construction is really taking off in the USA and the variety of projects being printed is remarkable. The latest example of this comes from the country's first 3D-printed Starbucks coffee shop.

The world's largest wooden structure has been completed. Aptly named the Grand Ring, it takes the form of a massive circular loop with a walkway on top and has a circumference of approximately 1.2 miles.

Though it looks unassuming from the outside, the aptly named Funhouse, by Konpak Tiny Homes, has a playful interior design, including a climbing wall section that provides access to a neat netted hangout area.
