Lawrence McPherson Associates have unveiled the world’s smallest eco-house, a dimensionally restricted shed like structure which measures just 3x3x3m.

Despite its diminutive stature its architects believe The Cube can have a big impact on showing the way ahead with its sustainably sourced sweet chestnut cladding and plethora of energy saving devices.

Incorporating a lounge, table & chairs, double bed, shower, and fully fitted kitchen the structure offers everything the non-claustrophobic could want.

Illuminated via LED lights the building features an Ecodan air-source heat pump, cork flooring and 2m of head room.

Built as a technology demonstrator the home could contribute around £1,000 a year to its owners pockets through the sale of surplus energy back to the grid.
