The Illy Push Button House designed by Adam Kalkin is built within a standard shipping container, that takes just 90 seconds to expand to reveal a five-room home, complete with kitchen, dining area, bedroom, living room and library. The house uses hydraulic cylinders that are controlled by a computer system within the kitchen island and is on show as a demonstration of mobile mechanics that can be used in a variety of circumstances, such as disaster-relief housing, an exhibition space or a sustainable home.- Via – Moco Loco
