A Net-Zero Micro Cabin in Colorado Makes a Big Statement About Construction Waste

Designer Michael Quirk reused discarded materials like windows and siding to prove that there are more sustainable ways to build.

Houses We Love: Every day we feature a remarkable space submitted by our community of architects, designers, builders, and homeowners. Have one to share? Post it here.

Project Details:

Location: Nederland, Colorado

Designer: Michael Quirk

Footprint: 120 square feet

From the Designer: "The project is a 120-square-foot tiny home in Nederland, Colorado, built with hemp insulation, reused siding, windows, and doors. The goal of the project is to highlight the opportunity we have to turn the construction industry’s contribution to climate change on its head. A carbon negative material pallet, paired with net-zero energy usage is the way we need to start building to solve the climate crisis. This project is proof that it can be done, even on a shoestring budget."
