This 108 square foot pre fab Bunkie comes complete with fireplace and chimney.

Whether it be a Bunkie, a LoftCube or a Micro Compact Home these tiny homes are providing affordable, efficient, Eco-friendly options to buyers willing to give up a little space. But how small is too small? Could you live in a home totaling 108 square feet? That's smaller than most people's bedroom!

LoftCube with awesome views.

 Micro Compact home with interior shots.

Although smaller homes with flex spaces made for multiple uses are trending right now, these tiny tiny homes are most likely too small for most people. It's probably a safe bet to say most buyers still want a designated sleeping area and although Micro-Housing is giving a new look to open concept living, these cute little houses are still too modern a concept for the masses.

A 47 Story Skyscraper Without an Elevator?

Forty-seven flights of stairs? Who wants to live in the penthouse?!

In Benidorm, Spain, a  47 story skyscraper is being constructed without a working elevator. The Intempo skyscraper, a supposed symbol of hope and prosperity, was originally conceived as a 20 story building. When developers decided  to double the building's height no one considered redesigning the elevator to accommodate the additional 27 floors. Now they are stuck with a 47 story building with not enough space for the elevator lifts and motor equipment. A plan to remedy this massive problem has not be developed yet.
