Intended for South Africa. A $1500 modular house, shipped as a flat-pack, designed to be put together with a screwdriver and awl.

"Each home packs flat and can be assembled by four people with a screwdriver and awl (both tools are shipped with the structure). Buyers can add multiple features on to the original 10x12 foot structure, including a kitchen, bathroom, window-walls, and closets.  The lightweight steel framework and corrugated walls can be easily disassembled and transported."

Beautiful!! I want one for my backyard!!

You know, if they added insulation & made the units modular so the wiring & plumbing would hook up, this could be a good product for America via groups like Habitat For Humanity...
