Instant coffee, instant noodles and now its Instant house

Beijing, January 4: What can one do in 24 hours time span? There are number of things to do but if one says that can you built a house in 24 hours then? Isn’t the question irrelevant? We’ll think how can one build a house in just 24 hours? But this is the truth now building a house in just 24 hours is possible. The design of the ‘Plug-in’ house was architected by People’s Architect Office PAO), China.

With just $10,000 worth of materials and a hex wrench, a construction team can build the Plug-in House in less than 24 hours. And the unique feature is the house is made of dozens of panels that get connected with one tool: an Allen wrench (also known as a hex key), which is the same tool used to assemble Ikea furniture.

In July 2017, the Plug-in House made the shortlist for the World Architecture Festival's World Building of the Year award. It has many modern facilities also. It features a kitchen that connects to a living room, two small bedrooms, and a bathroom.

The interior lets in a lot of natural light, Even the shower has a skylight. Steps on the side of the house lead to a roof deck.

Almost anyone can construct a Plug-in House. The structure is built without any machinery and does not require specialized labour. The custom-size panels are cut off-site to reduce cost.

The Plug-in House can be conveniently flat-packed, shipped, and put together, so it can be built it in remote locations that are usually difficult to build in.
