IKEA House

Sort of - but not really an IKEA House.  Rather it is a flat-pack modular house that assembles like a piece of IKEA furniture.  


As a child of the 60s and 70s when A-Frame homes were the north woods rage and now have become retro - Italian architect Renato Vidal seems to have capitalized upon this architectural curiosity.  

In his design for MADI (modulo abitativo dispiegable or modular residential deployable) a prefabricated tiny house that's brought to its assembly site on a flatbed trailer ready to be assembled by a small crew in relatively short-order.  Sort of like assembling a really, really large IKEA bookshelf.  

Constructed of engineered, sustainable wood this is really slick - contemporary and easily assembled.  Don't like the location?  move it.  Available with solar power and plumbing for off the grid use.  Housing for natural disaster, resort, ski chalet, deer camp, lake home - Voilà!  An exceedingly versatile option for living both here, there or everywhere.  Check this out...
