Tomahouse is an ultra portable chalet that can be assembled in four hours. Need to move? It can be disassembled in just one hour!
The Tomahouse itself measures 4 meters by 4 meters and costs just $15,000. To fix a Tomahouse to the ground, you need just 4 pillars, each placed 4 feet into the ground. I guess the designers like the number 4.
The Tomahouse was designed by Shinta Seregar, an Australian architect based on the ideas of Frank Thoma. Their goal was to create a portable work space.
