Although small, it was nearly equipped with all daily necessities and also provides for entertainment and leisure, including bed, furniture, home appliances, kitchen tools, wind-driven generator and even a swing.What can you do with an area of 9 square meters, especially in Beijing? Barely nothing although you would have to spend hundreds of thousands of yuan to buy it thanks to the high housing price in the city.
However, several young people showed you how to realize your villa dream with only such a tiny area in the city. Moreover, the small villa is an intelligent one that could be controlled by your cell phone. Can you believe this? Let's check it out!
Recently, a series of photos released on Internet showed the whole process of how a 9-square-meter container was changed into an intelligent and comfortable small villa. Although small, it was nearly equipped with all daily necessities and also provides for entertainment and leisure, including bed, furniture, home appliances, kitchen tools, wind-driven generator and even a swing.
All the settings in the house could be controlled by an intelligent mobile phone, such as adjusting shower flow, heights of tables and chairs, the sliding bed and so on.
The house's designer, surnamed Ma, has a master's degree in mechanical engineering. One day, the idea of building an intelligent house came to him, and then he gathered several friends who had the same idea to realize it. They started their program in September and spent about 120,000 RMB to build it within three months.
Since the photos of its building were published on the Internet, the intelligent small villa triggered a lot of debates. Some say it is quite creative and intelligent and much better than the popular egg-shaped house. However, some Netizens questioned how the house works in reality. They wondered about its energy use and costs as well as whether it was really livable or more just a concept.
Regarding all the debates on Internet, Ma and his friends said they built the house to realize their dream and also challenge the high housing prices in Beijing.
As of now, the house has already been taken down. All the materials were saved for other uses.
