California: “where there’s a will there’s a way” this time the will comes true with the One Square meter World’s tiniest house available for rent where you can stay in for the cost of a little more than $1 a night!
The aptly named “One-Sqm-House,” designed by Berlin-based architect Van Bo Le-Mentzel, features a lockable door, a window and comes with … a chair. Planning on crashing there for the night? The structure can be turned on its side, offering access to the built-in mattress.
Female criticizer says that “That’s not a house. It’s a doghouse. You can’t have a home if there is no bathroom facilities or kitchen, and the bed is merely dragging in a large pillow and turning the thing on its side. And does that window even close? And everyone can see you inside of it? No blinds? Not a home.”
YouTube user viruslived don’t agree with Idea says “It doesn’t have LAPTOP or FLAT SCREEN TV built in there. GET A LIFE. buy the one tiny one room luxury apartment.”
Le-Mentzel was inspired by his dream of creating a home that he could take with him. As he told BMW Guggenheim: “So I said, OK, I want to have my own square meter … that no one other than I, myself, can decide what happens with this one square meter of mine in the world. It’s the only square meter in the world where I can decide what direction the window looks in, what direction the door opens in, what neighbors I have.”
“It is no wonder that Le-Mentzel has become obsessed with the concept of home: He fled his homeland of Laos as a refugee and has spent his career exploring the topic” Yahoo Reported.
In conjunction with the BMW Guggenheim, Le-Mentzel invited Berliners to come and help build as many One-Sqm-Houses as possible, offering to cover the cost of materials for those who couldn’t afford it, so long as they allowed the Lab to rent them out until the end of July. For those who would like to rent one out, One-Sqm-House is currently listed on Airbnb for €1 ($1.30) a night, but when the experiment closes July 29, the builders can come back and retrieve their creations.
