Walking House by n55

(2008)

Walking House is a modular dwelling system capable of housing up to four people. It can move around due to its legs. The energy for moving and other functions is gathered using solar cells and small windmills. The module is totally prefabricated. It can be constructed from numerous materials - based on a framework made of steel, aluminium or wood. The framework can be covered with steel, aluminium, wood or even semipermeable textiles. Windows are made of polycarbonate. Walking House includes a system for collecting rain water and a system for solar heated hot water. A small greenhouse unit can also be added to the basic living module, as well as a composting toilet system. A small wood burning stove could be added to provide CO2 neutral heating.
