this is a great beginning for the much needed low income housing market, I would hope some enterprising young designer would take this plan and run with it, It would present the average low to medium income bracket buyer with a basic home, entirely built under the strictest housing requirements even more demanding that those of the stick built home, built not as cheep manufactured housing, but as a top quality family home, built to last forever, manufactured almost entirely under cover in a most financially sound way, each of the basic units would be designed to either stand alone as a cabin, or to be added onto with additional units, such as bedrooms or dining rooms, or a larger kitchen, to fit the buyers budget, or to be added later as the buyer’s finances allow.and his family grows. The units would present a very blank canvas for the enterprising buyer to decorate as they wish, doing it theirselves thus making the homes even more affordable. With careful designing these homes could really be top quality housing for those of us who would love a house, and don’t want the palace that most current builders are building these days,

Seems like a good idea for a college dormitory. I’m not sure if I’d want to actually buy one of these units though.

The interior is too sparse to be interesting and too generic to be minimalist. Obviously needs some interior design/decorating help.
The concept is great tho, now they just need to move the kitchenette area and invent some folding dining furniture for the bedroom.
They need a floorplan for the apartment and also for the building on that website.

I like the building, but not the livingspaces – too little personality
