Their object was to create an affordable attractive home (trailer/ mobile home). His name is Michael Hughes and the project was called TrailerWrap. He did a guest lecture at my school of architecture and i was impressed. I like this one too, maybe more than his. Google it.

I really hope it'll be 1.produced 2. at a price which makes it truly affordable for all the young folks like myself who simply can't afford building a decent house otherwise 3. available in different sizes. I love it. So is this house going to be produced or is it going to be just another gorgeous concept which never came true?

Now that we're starting to realize just how fragile our environment is, this would be the perfect home of the future. I could imagine myself living in this kind of structure because of its openess. And by the fact that you can have a view of your surroundings from the inside, and still be able to pertain maximum privacy from the outside is terrific!!! To all the architects who designed this extraordinary home I say well done!!!!! You've really inspired me to become an architect. Bravo!

Does the structure meet any U.S. building codes? This would make a great structure in an eco-friendly spa resort. Keep me posted on the development. Great cutting edge design!

Abd how much less if the sliding bits didn't actually slide, but were just bolted in place I wonder?And, having looked at their website, why is it that so many architects have such bad websites? I mean who tought of white text on mid grey background and annoying pop-ups?. I'm never sure of people who are in design who can't get their sites right, but... anyway I'll wait to see more.

A beautiful design, I can't wait to get one of my own. Now, where'd they put that darn price tag?
