It's more like a large IKEA piece of furniture than a DIY home project, capable of being assembled in a short period of time with just a few workers, simple instructions and equally simple tools. Surprisingly elegant and comfortable, this wooden house was designed by Finnish students for Alto Wood Program. Construction is a breeze, the modular plywood panels are connected via wooden dowels and nylon straps which, incredibly, avoid any need for metal fastenings or power tools and effectively form an airtight seal at the joints. A space-saving kitchen, a small living room or work area, mezzanines above the double bedroom as a storage room and additionally, sleeping accommodations in a semi-private area. The roof also extends to shelter a limited external area.
