How'd you like to have this Chiocciola shower?How about this as your new bathtub?
What's even more interesting, and Kent and Michael will definitely appreciate this, is a new mobile "quick house" designed by artist/architect Adam Kalkin. Check these out:
The "illy" standard shipping container. ... . that turns into this:
With the push of a button, the Illy house opens in 90 secondsand transforms from a compact container into a fully furnished and functional space with a kitchen, dining room, bathroom, bedroom, living room and library. All materials used were recyclable or recycled. Between November 28 and December 29, 2007, New York holiday shoppers have a chance to sit down and relax in Kalkin’s creation as Illy will install the temporary Push Button cafe in the Time Warner Centre.
His Quick House can be used for different circumstances, from disaster-relief housing to luxury dwellings and for promotional purposes. Italian espresso company Illy has used the Quick House at the 52nd Venice Biennale to provide visitors a space to relax and to enjoy their complimentary espresso.

wow...that's actually pretty cool. That might be the only type of housing we'll be able to afford in the future.
