Inspired by overpopulation in different parts of the world, one company developed mini DIY homes that are both innovative and practical.
Clara da Cruz Almeida, a South African architect, collaborated with product design company 'Dokter and Misses' to create a portable, tiny home called the 'POD-iDladla.' The home is 24-square meters and is delivered to you, pre-assembled.
Little over the size of an average American bedroom, the home uses space efficiently. The house includes a bedroom for two, a task area, a bathroom with a shower and a toilet, a kitchen with a dining table and a sheltered outdoor deck.
Currently only available for shipping in South Africa, the price for the mini DIY home is currently under review.
