The micro compact home [m-ch], is a super small, super compact house.
One or two people can live in one of these homes; it’s obviously not really an appropriate large family home. This project of micro homes was first launched in Munich back in November 2005.

Currently this slick project can be viewed at the Museum of Modern Art, New York; through October.

So small in fact, that one can push it around the city, or the forest, on a hill, in a national park. Of course, this may be the only home you can lose if it happens to roll off. You can’t say that about any old house now can you.
