This cottage home dubbed "The Crib" was designed with eco sustainable responsibility in mind. The 2011 Custom Home Design Award winning project by Broadhurst Architects may be small, but there's lots to this little design.

This mobile modular home inspired by Japanese architecture was made for the flexible family. Affordable and totally customizable, this unique housing concept by MIMA Architecture is literally made to order. These prefab cottages are designed based on your chosen location, size and room requirements - just let MIMA know what you have in mind and they will generate a design just for you. Interiors are finished with simplicity and functionality in mind, but style doesn't go by the wayside. We love the glass wall facade, which really opens up these minimalist interiors to nature, both in terms of views and literally - the windows open for direct access to the outdoors. MIMA Architecture

This open roof house by French architects Djuric Tardio is an unassuming sustainable structure that's warm, woody and welcoming - here's the tour! The eco house design is prefabricated of sustainably managed timber (Finnish larch panels) and assembled on-site in only two weeks. Large windows flood interiors with natural daylight while helping to passively heat the place during the cold months. But, when the weather is warm, this home is a hotspot for nature-lovers, with outdoor entertaining areas like a deck-style dining room, and mobile kitchen furniture that can be wheeled outside for a total alfresco meal experience. The home's stand-out characteristic is probably its rooftop garden and patio, which resemble an unfinished roof - framed yet open, enhancing that ever-present element of outdoors. A rainwater recycling system lets nature take care of the gardens. Another really cool feature found inside, sliding interior walls let the homeowners manipulate the layout from day to day, to suit their needs. Djuric Tardio

Here’s a modern low maintenance house, and our idea of a dream home! This northern California house designed by Marmol Radziner is a prefab cottage for weekend rest and relaxation, getting back to basics with low-maintenance and easily replaceable materials like concrete floors and metal siding. A 70-ft. covered porch offers outdoor entertaining areas for alfresco living in any weather. Beyond the entrance, a sprawling outdoor lounge area sits comfortable beneath a curtain shade, furnished with comfortable yet stylish chairs and poufs overlooking the inviting pool. Inside, behind floor-to-ceiling glass walls, minimalist interiors are punctuated by amazing modern furniture that brings vibrant pops of color to the space. A fireplace feature is a certain hotspot for the homeowners – avid cooks, who enjoy grilling up gourmet feasts on the built-in barbecue. Marmol Radziner
