This [transportable two-piece house](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mo5-450) appears to be a old wooden log cabin on the outside; however, the [sleek interior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-anton-ii) suggests otherwise. With smooth clean lines, the Flake House has a modern design. However, there are a few things missing in this house - like a bathroom and kitchen.
