Over the past decade, the world of micro-homes has changed and the new era of small-town homes has come to welcome us. The James Law Cybertecture Architect Company's OPod pipe house is a huge one build of concrete pipe, which is affordable for young people who are in trouble with housing costs.
The small pipe house recently introduced in Hong Kong is made of recycled concrete with a diameter of just over 2.5 meters. The tubes are designed to accommodate one or two people, and provide about 9 square meters of living space. Interior with standard equipment including a bench in the living room which can be turned into a bed. There is also one mini fridge, a bathroom, a shower and plenty of storage space for your clothes and personal objects.
Architect behind the design, James Law, said the tiny tubs were inspired by practicality, which can be a solution for both young people who are looking for a home, both for city authorities, as they offer affordable opportunities to anyone. Although a structures are far from light, weighing 22 tons per piece, requiring little work on their installation, and can be easily clamped together, which reduces installation costs.
Pipes can be easily fused and installed in any small, unused space that exist usually in cities. According to the architect, complete pipe communities can be created in narrow, unbuilt places, unused areas, etc. According to Law this concept in every urban environment can be established:
"Sometimes there are real estates that are rather narrow, so it is not easy to raise them on buildings. We can install these sites some OPods and we could exploit the area. "
