A tour of the 'Cube', a 10x10x10 foot eco-home in which one person can live with a minimum impact on the environment. The 'Cube' is designed to generate at least as much energy as it uses.
Constructed from a variety of sustainable materials, the Cube provides everything that a single person (or two friendly people) might need.
Within its 950 cubic feet (27 m3) it includes a lounge, with a table and two custom-made chairs, a small 4 ft wide (120cm) double bed , a full-size shower, a kitchen (with energy-efficient fridge, induction hob, re-circulating cooker hood, sink/drainer, combination microwave oven and storage cupboards), a washing machine, and a composting toilet.
If registered with the UK Government's Feed-In Tariff (FiT ' an incentive for producing energy from renewable sources), the Cube will raise around ??1000 per year in FiT income. The only connections it requires are a connection to the electrical grid, and a cold-water supply.
No mains drainage is required: waste is either composted, or processed on site.
