This tiny solar-powered home is for sale on eBay, starting at just $10K

Want to buy a portable retreat for less than what it would cost to buy a car? Check out <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/studio-h/" target="_blank">Studio H’s</a> newly completed project: a tiny solar-powered abode on wheels <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/331570546106" target="_blank">for sale on eBay</a> for a starting price of just $10K. Built atop a trailer bed, this portable and eco-minded 112-square-foot building was created as part of Studio H’s yearlong design and construction youth program in Berkeley, California. The proceeds of the project will be used to fund Studio H’s 2016 student build project.

While the tiny portable dwelling isn’t what would be considered livable for most individuals—the mobile building lacks a bathroom, kitchen, and plumbing—it could serve as an excellent retreat or writer’s hut.

Built with stud-framed construction, the well-crafted structure is partially clad in reclaimed and stained palette wood siding, while gray Delta Rib 3 metal panels top the roof and an exterior wall.

Clerestory windows and other glazed openings bring natural light into the small space.

The all-white open-plan interior is kept minimalist but customizable, featuring a lofted bed with storage space and a small cabinet.

Every year, Studio H teaches high school and middle school students from Berkeley’s REALM Charter School how to design and build public architecture projects.

Since this year’s theme centered on housing, the Studio H class designed and built two identical 112-square-foot tiny “homes”—each approximately 7 by 16 feet—atop trailers.

One structure was donated to the social service-minded Opportunity Village in Eugene, Oregon, where it will be used to provide transitional housing to the homeless. The second abode is up for auction on eBay, with a starting price of USD $10,000.

The proceeds of the project will be used to fund Studio H’s 2016 student build project.
