Muji Hut timber prefab hut

The Muji Hut will be available for purchase in Japan for ¥3,000,000 (£20,989) from August 2017. The minimalist retailer intends the simple cabin to suit a wide variety of locations, describing it as somewhere between a permanent residence and a holiday home.

It follows a series of housing models unveiled by the brand, including a trio of readyconstructed holiday cabins designed by Naoto Fukasawa, Konstantin Grcic and Jasper Morrison.

The house is built on a concrete foundation to protect against ground moisture, ensuring that the structure lasts a long time.

Inside, untreated Japanese cypress plywood lines the walls, and the floor is covered in mortar, offering a simple finish for owners to add their own touches.

"Even in dirt-prone environments, the floor can be used freely like an earthen floor," they said. "Since the floor surface is nice and smooth, cleaning is easy, and flooring or rugs can be laid anywhere to suit your taste."

In comparison to the other two precedents, the square based concept is something I want to adopt. However in contrast to other precedents, this design had a large windows that allow daylight n to the micro house as well as offering a view of the site.
