Prefab M-velope Retreats Shift and Slide into a Bevy of Fun Shapes

<a href="http://www.michaeljantzen.com/Welcome.html">Michael Jantzen</a> has designed a series of fun <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/prefab-design/">prefabricated retreats</a> called M-velopes that can shift and slide into a variety of different shapes. Made from sustainably-grown timber and colored with either paints or stains that have no negative environmental impact, these functional art pieces range from simple to complex forms that can be placed either indoors or outdoors for an unconventional space to get away from the crowd.

This is what the M-velope looks like with all of the sections in their original position

And this is what it looks like with the segments manipulated!

These sustainable retreats can be shifted into a whole bevy of shapes

Looks like a lot of fun

The timber was sustainably-grown

Color is generated with environmentally-friendly paints and stains

We love how the light penetrates the interior of this playful project

The buildings are completely prefabricated and shipped in sections, whereupon they are bolted together on site.
