Sometimes you have cognitive dissonance after you purchased a home. “Damnit, I wished I moved to the other side of town instead.” The Walking House by N55 laughs at problems like those. The Walking House is a dwelling that moves slowly around landscape with minimal damage to the environment. In the photo above, you will notice a man enjoying the view from the living room of The Walking House.
The Walking House uses a system to collect rain water and to collect solar heat to produce hot water. The Walking House has a composting toilet system that allows sewage produced by the tenants to be disposed of. To cook food, the Walking House has a wood burning stove.
If you get too lonely living in a Walking House, there is also a Walking Villages concept where several Walking Houses are connected. Below are additional specifications about The Walking House:
- Height: 3.5 meters
- Width: 3.5 meters
- Max speed: 60 meters per hour
- Plating and framework wood and plywood
- 12 linear actuators
- Solar panels
- Micro windmills
- Polycarbonate plates
- Interior equipment
Check out the photo gallery below to see what the Walking Village would look like and see other rooms in The Walking House.
Nice idea but live in it full time? Hmmmmmmmmmm I don’t think so unless your part sardine.
The hexagonal, almost hut-like design seems like an ingenious and cost effective way for temporary housing for refugees, or a sleeping area for the homeless.
