This $10,000 tiny home can be built with a single tool in less than a day
Mrs. Fan and her Plug-in House in Changchun Jie, China.
Homes can be expensive in Beijing, so a woman known as Mrs. Fan ended up living in a small and dilapidated house in the courtyard of her parent’s residence outside the city. She still wanted to live near her family, but also desired a modern home at an affordable price.
After the People’s Architecture Office (PAO), a local firm, heard about her story, it designed her a Plug-in House in December 2016.
With just $10,000 worth of materials and a hex wrench, a construction team can build the Plug-in House in less than 24 hours, PAO’s principal, James Shen, tells Business Insider. The pre-fab home features a proprietary design that’s similar to a renovation system the firm designed in early 2016.
