The Horden Cherry Lee Micro-Compact Home is Built in Four Minutes
Sarah Moore — June 22, 2012 — Art & Design
The most recently installed Horden Cherry Lee Micro-Compact Home boasts not only a teeny-tiny square footage, but also a ridiculously quick construction time.
The 8.53 ft, 1.8 ton home was flown to its building site via helicopter and despite its fast building time, features solar-power technology, LED lighting, Air Conditioning and all of the other amenities. The mini abode is equipped with an adjustable double bed, a living space that somehow, despite its small size, can accommodate up to eight quests, full bathroom amenities and a kitchenette.
The designer has been creating these homes for several years, but a recent update to the design has increased durability and drastically reduced construction time. The light-weight aluminum frame makes the home easy to erect while its solar technology boasts an impressively low energy output of only 4-5 kWh a day.
