Renzon Piano's Micro-Home

About ten years ago architect Renzon Piano begin working on a idea many architectural students shared: a living space six and a half feet square containing the essentials, a bed, a chair and a table. After many prototypes he developed the final version, dubbed Diogene, named for the philosopher Diogenes.

The home is completely off-the-grid and independent of its environment with photovoltaic cells and solar modules, a rainwater tank, a biological toilet, natural ventilation and triple glazing. There is a pull-out sofa, a folding table under the window, a shower and toilet as well as a kitchen.

Looks like something you might see on Mars, right?
