Can you get more micro than this?
Probably, but the 480 sf BARK ATC (All-Terrain Cabin) is still pretty darn small, especially for a structure containing a fully functioning kitchen and bathroom.
From the BARK design website:
"...we designed a small home, a cabin, using the standard ISO shipping container as the basis for the structure and outfitting it totally with Canadian Design and Technology. The result is as smart as it is efficient, suitable for a family of four and a pet to live off the grid in comfort and contemporary style. It travels by train, truck, ship, airplane or helicopter, folded up and indistinguishable from any ordinary shipping container. Once it arrives, it unfolds rapidly to 480sf of self-contained, sophisticated living space with all the comforts of home."
The ATC is currently on tour to promote the design industry in Canada. One wonders if the design could truly be site-specific in other parts of the world, too. For example, how could its climate control systems deal with the hot, humid, and altogether oppressive summers in the southeastern US? Would it still be able to operate off the grid?
