Kithaus recently installed one of their K3 Modernist modules in Big Sur, California. Designed by Tom Sandonato and Martin Wehmann, the K3 is a 9’ x 13’ pre-wired prefab module that is made of a lot of lightweight anodized aluminium that does not require heavy equipment to get it to the installation site. Interestingly, along with the Airstream CCD, the Kithaus K3 is available through DWR.

Here’s video of “Casulo,” the much-hubbubbed-about “apartment in a box” from Marcel Krings & Sebastian Muhlhauser, who won the Abraham & David Roentgen Award with it in November of last year. Young, solo, female apartment-dwellers take note: with everything you need in this 31-by-47 inch box, moving’s a snap and boyfriends are about to become obsolete.

As awful as they are, natural disasters and people in trouble tend to spur Samaritans into helping their fellow man. This includes design, of course, and here we have yet another post-Katrina temp housing solution: a company called Martin House-To-Go’s “take-it-with-you portable house,” called the Fresh Start.
Fully equipped house-on-wheels can go where you go. No special permit or license required.
Designed to travel on any road, anywhere.
Have an extension cord and garden hose? That’s all you need.
Designed for ease of use. Everything you need at your fingertips. Simple.
These versatile houses are built to the highest standards to withstand rigorous travel, harsh climates, and constant use with little maintenance.
The owners of Martin House-To-Go lost everything after Katrina, then came up with the Fresh Start, which retails for under 30 grand.
