I could live just swell in one of these...

But you'd have to stay dressed all the time!

I see the curtain issue you are referring too.

 

[CallMeKate]

I see the curtain issue you are referring too.

Yep... but that aside, that's a really cool little house!

 

[againstthegrain]

It's prob got the glass that becomes opaque w a little bit of electricity running through it.

I rather like it ...very stylish, very bijou. I wonder what they cost?

 

[Beezer]

I wonder what they cost?

49k in Canada apparently.

How much does a Boxabl house cost in Canada?

[catscan]

Oh, they come in boxes and have to be erected on site. I get lost with flat pack furniture never mind a house.
I always end up with screws left over.

How much!

Saw a blurb on new recently about a "concrete" printed home,
showed how it was made, with "ribbons" of concrete "printed"
one on top of another......thing I noticed is there were NO kind
of rebar or whatever, to tie the layers together!!!

 

[dilettante]

Hmm.

I'm imagining doubled glazed windows with a separation of 2 to 3 inches. For privacy, too much sun, or additional insulation... a system to pump expanded polystyrene (or something safer) beads up half or all the way, and back out again. Could even be dyed instead of stark white!

 

[Beezer]

I think $49,000 for your own home is a pretty good price.

We have conservatory's attached to our home which look simlalr to that ... and they are sweat boxes in summer , and freezing in winter

 

[catscan]

Now this is bijou! I give you ... the Pod!

Does that 49K include site prep, utility installation, etc. ?

I would bet that it does not include the land the home would be on, at the very least.

 

[Harry Le Hermit]

I would bet that it does not include the land the home would be on, at the very least.

Actually saw a couple of videos, describing all the associated costs, including land, sewer, water, electricity, foundation, permits, delivery, etc. Providing local building codes permit this type of structure.

125K+ seems to be the range.

 

[Naturally]

Saw plenty of NOPE to go around in the OP video.
Starting with the whole side opening up @ 2 seconds in.
Maybe good for those raised in barn who want to down-size.
Skeeters and flies need homes too I guess.

I wouldn't mind living in it. But there way too many windows, and very large ones at that. The larger the windows and the number of windows, make it a target for dishonest people.

I like this idea. With inflation going up like it is, having something like this is better than renting an apartment for many. It’s a cute little house that’s manageable. All that’s needed is a lot , septic or waste deposal, electricity, water, internet. It’s doable for those on a tight budget.

 

[OneEyedDiva]

Very nice! I would definitely have to have either blinds or opague windows or two way glass, so I could see out but no one could see in. The kitchen is about the same size as my kitchenette, maybe a little smaller. I can't believe they even fit a washer and dryer in there. Something like that is a great option for those who are minimalists and can't afford today's housing prices. Only thing, just like other tiny homes, they'd need land to put it on. Another thing I think about with those things is how well would they hold up to major hurricanes.
