Today, in almost any metropolis, the question of the availability of free space for the construction of dwellings is acute. In this regard, architects see the solution to the problem in the design of small houses that can be installed even on the smallest piece of land. So, a resident of Beijing (China) settled in a house with an area of ​​only 27.8 sq. meters, while the cost of housing was only $ 10,000.

A relatively recent architectural firm China’s People’s Architecture Office (PAO) received an order from the government of Beijing for the design and construction of small compact houses. The designers were delighted to present the first completed dwelling called Fan’s Plugin House, located almost in the center of the Chinese capital.

The house was commissioned by a young woman. Her parents’ home was a dilapidated building, so the new structure was located right in the courtyard next to the old building. The unusual shape of the house is due to the need not to block the view from the windows to neighbors.

Thanks to a special patented technology for the production of prefabricated panels, the assembly of the house took only a few hours. Thermal insulation, interior and exterior decoration, plumbing and electrical wiring were integrated into the modules immediately at the factory. Manufacturers say they only needed a hex wrench to assemble the entire house..

The house has a kitchen, a small living room and a bedroom. The area where the house is located does not have a sewerage system, so a compost toilet and shower were installed in Fan’s Plugin House.

The area of ​​the house is 27.8 square meters, and the price is only $ 10,000. This is 30 times cheaper than the cost of an apartment in the same area of ​​Beijing.

In Portugal, the architect also presented a prefabricated house. He claims that his a dwelling can be built in 3 days.
