Altius Architecture and Sustain Design Studio
Altius Architecture and Sustain Design Studio are the creators of miniHomes. This efficient building system can be configured to not require gas or hydro hookups, and the miniHome SOLO and DUO produce all the energy required for their on-board electrical loads through solar panels (located on a pivoting aluminum canopy over the front door), and an optional 400-watt wind turbine can help with more intense usage. All lights, appliances and fans in the miniHome are highly energy-efficient, it uses FSC-certified wood, and no toxic adhesives, finishes or formaldehyde are used in construction. With no foundations, the impact on the land is minimal, and the miniHomes' size makes them easy to heat and light with a fraction of the energy required in a regular house.
