A New Zealand architecture company has designed a three-bedroom house that three people can assemble in six weeks for $335,000.
RTA Studio just constructed its first ‘Living House’ in Rotorua.
It is 85sqm and designed for quick assembly once the foundations are in place, the cost includes a functional kitchen with appliances as well as flooring, lighting, carpets and heating. It does not include the land value.
I think this is pretty cool. Obviously every house looks the same but they have shaved a significant amount of labour out of the process, saving a huge chunk of money.
Does anyone know how much it would normally cost to build a 3 bedroom 85 sqm house? The article doesn’t mention a comparison price.
You’d also have to add the solar system and appliances to make a comparison.
Yeah, it doesn’t have specs but I’d guess $15-20k of solar and appliances. It would be pretty awesome for building state houses.
