Apartment dwellers no longer have to face the dilemma of giving up their beloved apartment when they have outgrown it. They can just add on! A room addition from Convertible City, known as the Rucksack House, is a new option. A room sized cube, it can be suspended on the outside of existing buildings via steel cables to provide additional living or working space. The unit includes fold-down furniture, such as a desk, shelves, and a place to sleep or read. When stowed, the furniture is held in place by hidden magnets. And for those with no fear of heights, it also includes a window in the floor to look down on the activity below.
