A Prefab House that Costs as Much as a Car Dezeen

Yesterday morning I was laying in bed scrolling through my Google Reader (that's normal right?) dreading actually getting ready for the day when I saw it. A house that costs as much to produce as a car. Did I mention all the walls are movable or removable all together? Well hello to you Mr. Morning because this is so very cool!

Many of us Google prefab houses. They seem simple and easy and you roll up, pour a pad and install the bad boys. The hard part is that they aren't always inexpensive and they don't always use the space like you would.

Meet the Mima House from Mima Architects. It's entire interior space is able to be changed up (except the bathroom walls). Large panels can either block the windows and minimize your view or be inserted to divide up your space as you see fit. Make a large living room or a huge kitchen, the choice would be up to you.

So if any of you need me I'll be off scouting land to put one of these bad boys down. Seriously, a house that adapts to how you use the space and doesn't cost a ridiculous fortune for modern design. Score. Check out all the details and loads more photos over at Dezeen.

Very cool, but my guess is that this thing is not going to be up to code in the tornado belt. :(

this would make an amazing art/dance studio!
for me anyways

all that natural light
the simplicity of the space

i am little in love
true

Yeah I was just picturing that thing wobbling from a giant snowy Minnesota wind. Neat concept for mild climates though.

Reminiscent of the architecture of traditional Japanese houses.

Cool concept. I would love to somehow have a traditional Japanese house one day.

Does anybody know of any other prefab homes floating around online? They're always fun to look at.

Great idea, but no good in Canada or NE US - no insulation, single glazed windows. Does it have a furnace?

It wouldn't be up to code in the hurricane zone, either.

Costs as much as which car? Are we talking a camry or a bmw?

lying in bed; its, not it's :)

Honestly! Grammar correction? Is this how you get your rocks off? That's obnoxious. It must be wonderful to be incapable of errors. I'm happy for you.

It's beautiful, I wish I could get one of these!

Sorry Jadis1, but correct grammar is simply a professional obligation of writers. Nobody's thinking about getting rocks off except you--so chill.

fantastic as a 2nd home in vermont, new hampshire or maine, so we have a winter home for skiing or summer home for hiking!

@cei-face
Apparently, a mid-range car, which means... what, exactly? Is a prius mid-range? But I guess since it's modular it's hard to put down a price.

Is it available outside of portugal?
