5. The Prefab Eco Pod
Prefabricated homes have evolved significantly, with many companies now offering eco-friendly options.

Their compact size and efficient design make them an affordable entry point into sustainable living.
6. The Cob House
Cob construction combines clay, sand, straw, and water to create a building material that is both sustainable and inexpensive. Cob houses are hand-sculpted and can be customized in endless ways, allowing for creative and cost-effective home designs. These homes naturally regulate temperature, reducing the need for heating and cooling.
