# Legal Loophole Studios The Friggatto Structure Can Be Pushed Apart By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2015-05-15 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/friggatto References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/friggatto-full-scale-studio/37484/) & [fullscalestudio.blogspot.se](http://www.fullscalestudio.blogspot.se/2015/05/the-friggatto-by-full-scale-studio.html) Friggato is a wonderfully novel and cheeky project designed by Full Scale Studio to take advantage of a loophole in Swedish building permit laws. Rather than comprising a single, large structure that would require a pricey permit, the Friggatto structure comprises [two small buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-shack-1), one of which (the Frigg) is [set on wheels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/castillo-mobile-office). The wheel-set building simply needs to be pushed a short distance away from its larger sibling (the Atto) once every six months in order to avoid requiring a permit. When the Frigg is moved, it legally becomes a vehicle. However if it sits in the same position for more than six months at a time, it is technically a house. Therefore by moving it away from the Atto once every six months, the volume is rendered permit-free meaning no municipal fee is charged. This is [architectural innovation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/six-columns) at its best, with the Friggato proving that architectural projects can be fun, functional and cost-saving at the same time. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 37% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Loophole Exploitation:** Architects and designers are finding creative ways to take advantage of legal loopholes to save costs and bypass regulations. - **Modular Structures:** The use of modular structures is gaining popularity as a way to circumvent restrictive building permit laws. - **Functional Simplicity:** Architectural projects that prioritize both functionality and simplicity are becoming increasingly sought after. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Architecture & Design:** The architecture and design industry can explore innovative ways to create cost-effective and legally compliant structures by leveraging legal loopholes. - **Construction:** The construction industry can adapt to the use of modular structures to streamline building processes and reduce costs. - **Real Estate:** The real estate industry can benefit from functional and simple architectural projects that offer cost-saving opportunities for property development. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Inversion Living Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiny-getaway.md) - [Moving Wall-Integrated Renovated Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blooming-shed.md) - [Refreshing Micro-Living Compact Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sffr-house.md) - [Stilts-Reading Suspended Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-hole-with-the-house-around.md) - [Adaptive Backyard Studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-shack-1.md) - [Shape‑shifting Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-offgrid-house.md) - [Adjustable Japanese Studio Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/building-frame-of-the-house.md) - [Compact Red Wooden Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prefab-house-changeover.md) - [House-Layered Structural Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-chodge.md)
