Make My Home Modular Please


Ever wanted to change your home just bit and/or just for a little while?  Then you might want to get a modular house.

Michael Jantzen has designed the M-House which is a modular home that can be easily reconfigured to serve a variety of functions.

Based on Jantzen’s M-Vironment system, which consists of a space frame grid clad in hinged horizontal and vertical panels  Some panels have insulation and windows in order to enclose indoor spaces, others are open to create patios and other open living spaces. The M-house is also designed to be energy self sufficient and can be disassembled and moved with relative ease.  Check it out here.

And, here's a 3D rendering of the M-House.


So far the only M-House built was sold to an art collector in Korea for an undisclosed sum.  So, it will probably be a little while before you see one in your neighbourhood.

And, just imagine stacked up M-Houses to create M-Apartments.
