This tiny house has furniture folded inside its walls, mimicking the functionality of a Swiss Army Knife.
The ninety-six-square-foot building, which cost just £35,000 to build, starts out consisting of a single white room with no decor in sight.
But as the walls are unfolded its true functionality emerges.
It has a bed that folds down and an ingenious kitchen area, complete with a hob, cupboard space and a table and chairs for entertaining guests.
A bathroom, complete with a luxurious shower, can even be pulled out through a small gap in the wall.

That’s great unless you need to clip coupons and open a bottle of wine at the same time....
Having seen videos of the silos converted into homes, it’s not the homelike parts or the thought of underground living, it’s the vast empty pits where the missles were. If I lived there, I’d be afraid of hearing creepy noises from the missle silos.
True, sometimes minimalism can be taken to the extreme.
Some of the innovations, especially with spaces that have modular parts could be very useful for designers of motorhomes, RVs, boats and other vehicles where space is a premium but modern conveniences are desired.
I don’t think the Murphy accessories would be popular with the management.
You really need to photoshop a shark into the

It will be a short stay for most of them.
Yes.
I find a lot of the ‘tiny houses’ very charming. But it always bugs me that these ‘creative’ people seem to think that the folks who are going to live in the tiny houses aren’t creative themselves. It’s as if they think that all OTHER people need are the bare necessities - and electronics.
My husband and I love to cook - there’s no room in there for all of our cooking implements; nor for all of our artsy-craftsy supplies. And where would the cats; litter boxes and beds go? My brother’s power tools, table saw, etc?
But I think the architect, in the article, described exactly the value of experiments like this. It’s a ‘thought project’, and in the process you may make breakthroughs.
You dood it again!
That tiger must be female. She is swatting with her right paw.
We have a 40 ft sailboat that would be totally comfy as a live aboard for 1 person. I could live on it. It has 2 over 6 ft couches, a table, a king size bed and a double bed. A full kitchen with fridge, 2 burner electric stove, a convection oven and a microwave. It doesn’t have a dishwasher so I use lots of paper plates and styrofoam cups though. Lol. It has a vanity with sink ensuite and a separate head. We took the shower out because it was one of those shower over the stool types and I refuse to use it. But we have great facilities at the marina and all the guest slips we have stayed in have pretty nice bathrooms.

Just dandy, until something warps.
Minimalist for thee. Not for me!
