I can see some very interesting concepts in this module. I really like the centralization of utilities around the core. This idea brings some real cost-saving ideas to my plans for a small earth-sheltered home. But I'd build it myself! 8) https://www.slate.com/blogs/the_eye...hetto_studios_is_a_compact_home_in_a_box.html
Ever notice how much tiny homes are suddenly going for here in America? I've seen some as "high" as a million.
Nice concept, but I wonder how practical it would really be except perhaps in a round house. I agree with you on the build it yourself aspect, why pay someone when you can do it yourself and modify everything to fill your own needs. For me, it wouldn't work at all, I am building an open floor plan single story house with just over 1000 sq. ft. the only walls inside will be to separate the mud/bath/laundry room. All my plumbing will be along one wall so easy to plumb and no long runs for water of any kind.
I've seen people with tiny houses do this central cube design which does separate the areas a little more with used space. Little kids love to ride their tricycles around and around. But how do you get into the center of it to repair things? There are gas pipes, water pipes and electrical wires. You shove that bed in, that sink links, and oops!!
