Space of Mind is a modular cabin designed to be built anywhere

Named Space of Mind, the compact cabin was developed in collaboration with furniture brand Made By Choice in response to the coronavirus pandemic, to offer people who are forced to spend more time at home a space to unwind. Studio Puisto intends for Space of Mind to serve primarily as a remote, off-grid hideout, but they can also be built closer to home for use as an office, garden gym or spare bedroom. The cabins have modular interiors that also allow them to be quickly and easily adapted to suit a user's changing needs.

Off-the-grid container house in Mexico is move-in ready in 99 days

Dubbed VMD, the 30-sq-m (323-sq-ft) tiny home is an eco-conscious dwelling that is built using shipping-containers and offers a complete off-the-grid living package. The inspiration for the simple and cost-effective design of the dwelling came from the architects' desire to create a home that could re-connect city-dwellers with the beautiful natural Mexican landscape, while also incorporating a strong focus on sustainability and reducing the ecological footprint of the home. The VMD home is thus designed as a low-fuss abode or weekend getaway that can be installed in just seven days, while leaving very little impact on the site.
