Living smaller is a big trend in housing. Micro homes are generally designed to take you off the grid, diminishing your dependence on oil and coal. The cross-shaped Skit 2014 home follows suit.

"Skit is an energetically independent building," architect Dachi Papuashvili explains. The home is designed to run on solar power. It'll also harvest rainwater.

Papuashvili designed the house for a single occupant, particularly clergy who may seek solitude for studying and praying. The top floor includes a small room for prayer and reflection, while outside, the patio provides an aerial view of your surroundings, placing you closer to nature.

The main living space is the third floor, where the kitchen, bedroom and office take up just about 120 square feet.

The bathroom is one level down from the main living space. It includes a bio-toilet.
