Gazing at this spacecraft of a prefab house, you may be reminded of a certain colony of extra-terrestrial tree houses we wrote about last year. A new design from UK-based Sybarite (whose name alone makes me love them), the Plectrum House is a tiny prefab, measuring only 40m-sq (approx 430ft-sq). Luckily, for those who require a bit more room, the aluminum units can be stacked five high.
Modeled off of the compact, rounded form of a plectrum (that’s a guitar pick, if you didn’t know), the design combats the standard blocky style of so many stackable modular dwellings. When layered, the overall structure has flower-like facets and curves. And while we have our share of reservations about living in a UFO,
Sybarite managed to include our most favorite feature –
roof gardens – which we are incapable of resisting, no matter what kind of structure they hover over.

I rather like the look of this, at least its bold!
Once again, another superidea.
Why can´t we build like this in Swden ? Because the architects here are 50 years behinde the world outside.
