42 Portable Architecture Finds

From Snow Shelter Resorts to Crocheted Cabin Concepts

— August 10, 2013 — Eco
The desire to break free from urban living is facing a resurgence and portable architecture has been developed to reflect that. Shelters and other structures that are easily moved allow for consumers to explore their desire for a nomadic life. Abodes like portable compact homes and other similar houses can easily be shifted to another location. This list contains examples of architecture that's free to move around.

Mobile lodging has increased in popularity because of developments in technology and increasing property prices. Structures like rolling mobile villages and portable wooden huts allow users to move around at their leisure while remaining comfortable.

Other structures like hotels are also becoming mobilized. Eco-friendly portable hotels work to keep carbon footprints low while remaining convenient for any adventurous consumers.
