This one is an interesting concept. A pre-fab house with a host of eco-credentials, that can be put together in a matter of days. The Perrinepod design is quite retro, oblong shaped with rounded edges. The idea behind the design is to counter our over-cluttered existence and create beautiful and useable living environment that can adapt to any setting. As the architect, Jean-mic Perrine states:
“My design is about appreciating the beauty of simple, uncluttered space.” The perrinepod is very functional, very sexy, very simple, with the form of the spaces inside following the function, there’s no pretense, just simple, beautiful designs. It’s a really cool thing to have no falseness - for example, the bathrooms are simply designed as a place to wash, backed up by quality materials.
Living spaces have become as transient and irrelevant as clothes. It’s no longer a look for a generation, the look of ‘now’ only lasts for a three to four year period.
That approach is not sustainable and people are putting themselves under a lot of unnecessary pressure trying to keep up. The Perrine Pod is the antithesis of all of that - simple design, beautiful materials that will remain classic. It’s not a ‘look at me’ statement, but a home that is comfortable, stylish and above all, functional.”
A great idea if you ask me. The design is also stackable, giving the option of a larger, family home. The time-lapse video below shows just how quickly these things can be put together.
