MOVEABLE FEAST Dreaming of a beach house without the massive price tag? Many a tiny home (and this one too) is a modular, prefabricated build with most of the legwork done offsite. This makes them easy to transport and easier to build in their chosen environment. Design Notes • Tiny houses offer the opportunity to immerse oneself in an environment. This particular pod feels like the perfect pad for watching nature go by, yet it’s easy to envisage it perched on an urban rooftop, too. • The beauty of a portable pod is that it could be placed in any number of diverse environments ranging from gardens to game reserves—all you need is permission to proceed, some flat ground, and a flatbed truck to get it there. TIP Whether it’s used as a spare room for guests or a studio space, there’s no denying the charm this cleverly conceived housing solution brings. Before embarking down the pod path, decide what its purpose will be. A place for work or a pod for play will have different needs (especially when it comes to elements like cabinetry).
