Well isn’t this just bananas.  What you’re looking at, aside from a pitch by the illy coffee brand (that’s in the video), is a home stuffed inside a shipping container by architect Adam Kalkin.  With the push of a button the container’s walls fold down on all sides to reveal a multi-room home.  On the right is a double bed complete with its own bathroom and full tub.  On the left is a living room with a full leather couch, lamps and in the middle a dining room with kitchenette.  Now, instead of driving your RV to your destination of choice, you can just ship it.

After the leap there is a video of a comparable shipping container turned house.

Grew up back East, got sick of the cold and headed West. Since I was small I have been pushing buttons - both electronic and human. With an insatiable need for tech I thought "why not start a blog focusing on technology, and use my dislikes and likes to post on gadgets."
