Looking like an 8-bit retro video game character and a LEGO block, these ingenious housing modules made from fiber-reinforced foam were designed by Chinese architect Liu Lubin. This tiny house design has made every single module light enough to be lifted and rotate by the homeowners so that they can stack it together with the other modules to form their own housing unit and customize individual module according to their own liking.
Just like shipping containers, these modules fit snugly into each other so that it can be transported anywhere in China efficiently. It is not like any ordinary micro homes out there since it is somewhat treated like a furniture with form and functionality in mind. All the modules are constructed to a specific size so that there is just enough room for sitting, sleeping or preparing food. Its unique cross-shaped top makes it possible to have work stations along the the edges of the space with square windows hinge open on either end and also serves as entrances as well.
To insulate the interior without compromising its weight and structural integrity, a fiber-reinforced foam composite is used. It also allows would-be residents to rotate the rooms if they need to swap shelves for a sink or desk. Basically, the built has three modular versions that includes a bedroom, a bathroom and even a small office. As it was built like a LEGO block, these modules can be grouped together to form into a much larger dwelling.
