Getting what you want at the press or push of a button. It is a rage among humans these days. With construction costs zooming and the globe going through its cycle of recession, you may still want to dream of a home that changes and gets fixed – at the push of a button, with its movable walls and floor! It may sound out of the world, but a new effort has made it look just that possible.

Originally displayed at Art Basel Miami, in 2005, the button uses a normal shipping container to use the existing living space.

Push Button House, as it is called, uses hydraulic power to lift the lower sides of the shipping container while it makes it possible to hugely expand the useable living space.

Bedrooms and bathroom, kitchen and living are all accommodated in Adam Kalkin’s Push Button House 1 design. The house has the elegance of a cozy love nest and also the comfort of a luxury bachelor pad, replete with interiors and taste. The design shows that a little bit of thinking can go a long way in settling major issues. Designs that look seemingly minimalist, are indeed the best and most creative.
