Petite Housing-- The Oberon
The Oberon, named for one of the moons of Uranus, is an 800 square foot home. This design, the Oberon I, has two bedrooms, one bathroom, kitchen and living room. During the hot summer months in Italy, TX, the Oberon cools for about a dollar a day. Overall, its heating and cooling costs for an entire year are about $300. Although Interstate 35E is only 100 yards away, inside the Oberon it is surprisingly quiet.
Originally designed to have only two bedrooms, the Oberon has new plans and new options. The latest we call Oberon IV.
The Oberon IV is a petite home at a reasonable price. It has a galley kitchen, great room, three bedrooms with a den/guest room/4th bedroom. The master bedroom is spacious with its own bath.
The other bedrooms are compact. Each has a built in upper bunk bed with a closet and desk underneath. The home can be built without the den. This makes a larger great room.
The Oberon IV is affordable by many who otherwise wide up in dumpy apartments or trailers. Our estimate for the completed building (totally contracted out) will be $35 to $45 thousand depending on the level of finish, local costs, and number of units. Add $5000 for a lot, $1500 for storage, and $1500 for a carport. Can you imagine a nicer unit for a single mom with two or three children? The power bill for this home will be less than half of any other comparable housing. This and other Oberon plans would also be ideal for a retirement home.
