A Micro Compact Home


This box-like figure is to my surprise, a home. It is 76 square feet designed by the Technical University of Munich in Germany. This home costs $96,000 and is complete with a flat screen TV and a dining room table that seats five people. It includes a fire alarm, smoke detectors, sliding dining room table, two 7.5 feet double beds, shelves and doors, a control panel, a bathroom, and a kitchen. The kitchen includes a sink with an extending tap, microwave, refrigerator and freezer, three slot garbage, storage, and shelves. How does such a small space include all the essentials of a home? I have no idea, but they made it work. This home is made for temporary stay and includes delivery and installment anywhere in Europe. This past summer, a model of this home was placed in The Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
