Does anyone know the asking price for these little cabins? Wonder how feasible it would be to move one to north Georgia?

This one seems like it would be so much better that the habitaflex because you can keep all your stuff in the house when you’re on the road. The other one didn’t seem that way. Good job!

I had the pleasure to work with Nick in the past when he was in the earlier design/build stages of the Cai House. Nick is a skilled craftsman and I can only say that seeing the prototype first hand was nothing short of jaw-dropping. I wish you the best of luck with your new endeavour Nick.

Fantastic solution to the transport issue. Great work. Would be interesting to mount it on screw pilings for a more permanant set up. I love that they can get below the frost for support but still can be reused, unlike concrete piles

I keep staring at this house because I just love it!

I hope he will decide to also sell the plans at some point. I am in Europe, so I could not buy one, no matter what. (Shipping charges would be really something, and then I would have to pay taxes and customs fees on top of that.)

My husband will study in a near-by country for 2.5 years. This would be the perfect solution: No rent to pay for an apartment (just for the land) and when it is time to move back, our home would come with us.

I really hope that more people will start to think outside the box like this. (Or in boxes like this.. ha.)

I love it!!!

The only problem is that if I had that sort of money, I would be buying a house, instead.

Hi Carey,

The place in Canada is Natural Log Homes, I did a post on it here: http://tinyhouseblog.com/log-construction/natural-log-rvs/

It is really a neat concept and makes for a larger portable home.

This is amazing! It’s origami architecture. There is a company in Canada that is building a similar structure with the appearance of a log cabin. It has a slide-out and an unfolding porch. I can’t remember the name of that company though. I am flabbergasted by the ingenuity of this type of unfolding design. My hat is off to the designer!
