Amazing, but true. And you can actually order one now!
This fantastic pallet home, built by i-beam designs, and it’s plans costs only $75. But what is even better is the rationale for creating these houses. This house, and design was made to showcase that refugees around the world can live in sustainable and renewable houses.
Check out these Pallet building books
on Amazon.
The house is feature complete and can be built in one day with just basic tools.

Love these small houses. But a clarification: The plans cost $75, the cost to build, then, is more. Esp. if you add solar panels, plumbing, and some sort of insulation (see the white between the boards).
And you have to have the land to build it on which here probably costs as much as a normal house. Still – pretty cool and even with the cost to build, insulate, plumbing and electric would be a lot less than buying or building a regular house if you have the land.
Why would I buy this if I don’t know the floor plan?
I’m pretty sure the $75 only covers the designs for the home, and materials have to be purchased separately. This article gives the idea that $75 will cover all materials and instructions needed to build the house, but the designer’s website explains that materials needed are listed in the plans and are easily attainable around the world. Still an amazing concept.
Sorry Amanda. My mistake. I have now updated the post with the correct info.
Im buying !
I would love to see inside of it. The outside is cute, but you live on the inside!
Have to agree with Lorrie. Not being able to see the floor plans makes it a non-starter.
Yeah the title is a little misleading but it’s a very cool concept 🙂 I wish to build something like this or something made out of shipping containers someday. I own an extra lot next to my house 🙂
Make sure you have local permits and it meets code.
You might want to correct your statement that its made with “Only” Pallets as well. Unless you can prove to me that the pluming, electrics and glass windows were all made out of wood, that is a lie as well.
The plans are no longer $75.
Hey Greg – we just checked. The plans are still $75.
There are some local businesses that just throw their pallets away. It might take a few months of collecting the pallets and having some sort of outhouse and no electricity but it could possibly be done for at least under $200
