Peter Ebner and his workshop students from the University of California in Los Angeles, University of British town of Huddersfield, Munich Technical University and the Center for Entrepreneurship and University of Applied Sciences have developed a project of the Small Transportable Living and had already built its pilot version.
This house of about 50 ft2 is a variation of a mobile mini-house. Authors of the project explain the relevance of such houses by the fact that now a half of young citizens aged 20-35 lives alone and spends not so much time at home (such dramatic changes in the habits of the population occurred in the last two decades), and, therefore, does not need a spacious housing. Moreover, housing becomes a scarce and costly commodity due to the constant influx of new residents in the city.
