TINY HOUSES FOR HONG KONG
Hong Kong’s crowded living conditions have made headlines around the world about dreadful cage homes and unsafe subdivided flats. OPod concrete pipe housing is a solution proposed for unused or small plots of land that may not be suitable for large, permanent housing. OPod is an experimental, affordable, eco-friendly, and portable round structure made out of readily available reinforced concrete pipes. It has a diameter of 2.5 metres and is fully fitted out with a living space, refrigerator, sink, microwave and bathroom, and each micro apartment has a floor area of about 100 square feet. When stacked together, a small residential community can be created relatively quickly.
