@SoudaBrooklyn / @_roomonfire: Minimalist Japanese retailer @muji_global has commissioned prototype designs for three tiny prefab cabins. Each home in the ‘Muji Hut’ range was created by one of three high-profile designers: Jasper Morrison, Konstantin Grcic, and Naota Fukasawa (who’s now Muji’s head of design). The three houses are called the hut of cork (Morrison’s), the hut of aluminum (Grcic’s), and the hut of wood (Fukasawa’s). Each was made in the image of kyosho jutaku, a Japanese style of micro-homes. Kyosho jutaku homes in Tokyo include ones built onto a single parking space, and others that use a unique form—like stacked steel boxes that allow the facade to double as storage space. Pictured above is Morrison’s hut. See more images on #roomonfire.net.
