Fun project [treehugger.com], but perhaps one key design flaw: automatic beer dispenser, but no bathroom...

A space where a guy might retreat to in order to have some time to himself, tinker on some personal project or indulge in other masculine rituals is colloquially called a "man cave" (though apparently, women can have an equal-opportunity rejoinder with the "she shed [lifebuzz.com]").

Wanting to build a more high-tech version of the classic man cave, New Zealander Jono Williams built this futuristic, solar-powered, smartphone-app-controlled micro-home. It's modern-looking, has an incredible panoramic view, and conveniently comes with a beer dispenser, hidden in its custom-designed couch. Take a tour of this incredible retreat with Living Big In A Tiny House [livingbiginatinyhouse.com]:
