[@georgevavoulis4758]

All of them are great ideas except the Breezeway home that costs $500,000

[@karenvickers8165]

@@georgevavoulis4758 A little pricey for you???? Me too!!!!

[@collette6103]

There's a hurricane coming! Pack up the house ... The remote control one is my pick for ease of assembly etc. Of course you've got to have a Murphy bed and folding furniture to fit inside too. Tenfold ! WOW!

[@TheByard]

Something for the Snow Birds!!!!

[@cariwaldick4898]

I love the ideas I'm seeing in tiny, or prefab homes. What I don't see enough of, is communities where these are welcomed and supported--without incurring monthly lot rents. The dream is home ownership, without lifelong debt. I'd love to see a community of innovative homes, sharing amenities, connected to power, water, and sewer as desired.

[@goldHydrangeas]

Well #3 @$545,000 yeah definitely NOT for middle class income.. it's a guesthouse pool home for the rich S

[@dennisengland7521]

I actually feel Blessed to be Alive in such a creative time in Human history. I loved every single one of these but thought your number#1 pick was mine as well. me and my Wife could live comfortable in this beautiful Home and the fact its completely automated is Perfect. and all you need is a semitruck to transport is Fantastic.

[@directeducation2890]

I would go with an A-Frame every time, though the Wing House is quite attractive also.

[@annetteryan5110]

WOW! I never in my wildest imagination could believe I would see FOLDING HOMES. THE HOMES ARE BEAUTIFUL. We truly are living in extraordinary times in so many ways.

[@bryduhbikeguy]

Definitely #2.Those can be used for emergency shelter,during disaster situation,and transported easier than most.With Grey Water systems,and solar,these are perfect for short term.I'm sure they've a system to tap into trailer/RV parks,and septic in general.I'd like one as a portable cottage.

[@juliebaker6969]

While all had some interesting features, the A-frame was the one that I would prefer. I like the option of permanent installation, the fact that you can customize the size, the large amount of roof area to facilitate solar panels, and the fact that the upstairs bedrooms have balconies.

[@MADORO1978]

Number 1 is my favourite because it can be mounted with a remote control and it takes a short time to mount it. Brilliant!!

[@scottthompson990]

#5. Simple and opens in 5 minutes. Perfect.

[@norma5044]

We need some homes like this in Evansville, Indiana There is a severe shortage of single family and senior homes. Most of what is being built is apartments and commercial property Thanks for sharing.

[@karlstoll488]

Being disabled and in a wheelchair, I would love to see one of these homes dedicated to the disabled. Such as raising and lowering upper cabinets in the kitchen. Easy access to sinks. Folding ramps for entrances.

[@thomasrobinette3227]

And I would love to have wings.

[@lauramiller2756]

Number 1 is beautiful and so versatile I also love the A frame. I plan on living I d a off grid community. I wouldn't so no ro any of them though....an add olulutely brilliant. Thank you!

[@markjob6354]

*The last one - Number one is the only practical and non-ugly looking foldable, portable house I could imagine living in. All one would need is a decent piece of land to setup on.*

[@donk.5730]

Excellent video. Great designs, and you did great video/camera work too. So many vids in this subject category move too fast and gloss over important features. I would like you to do a follow up on this subject with pricing and homeowners experiences. My CHOICE = # 1 = most helpful for me. Thank you, ...

[@kimvaughan2140]

Number 1 for sure. It’s interesting, adaptable, can go anywhere, fast and easy. Wow!

[@patrickyoung5533]

What an awesome innovation to housing. Impressive!!. The A frame is our favorite. Easy to set up, roomy and easy enough to relocate if necessary. All the styles are kick ass. Hats off to all the engineers that designed them. We will be checking more into pricing, and cost to the city. If its self sufficient No reason to deal with the. City except a permit maybe.

[@maalumzawadi245]

WOW!!! These homes are so AMAZING...I would LOVE to transform my traditional home into a folding home of the FUTURE! Thank you so much for sharing Luv U

[@Chris_at_Home]

I love some of these. I’d want one for snowbird living where there is room enough to put some furnishings in it when folded. This would be perfect in an area where there are hurricanes. Drive some helical anchors and fold it up for the hurricane season when not there then in November open it up for winter to live in.

[@elizdecabeth1305]

My favorite home is the A-frame. The idea of having movable buildings, and quick set up is so smart.

[@kellykelly7747]

I love them all! Especially the last one!!! The least liked was the largest one at a price of $500k.

[@karenvickers8165]

I watched this video again, I forgot how great it was!!!! It was one of your best!! I am sure I will watch it again!!!!!!

[@chall1mk]

Love these buildings. Looking for something under $100k with all additions. Love the fact that they can all be moved.

[@katherineganley7806]

A frame, love the timeless design, space utilization. Plus also love #1.

[@joeinbloomfield]

Loved #3 and of course #1. Great to set up in a large acre-secluded property, like a cottage. 🙏🏼

[@joehelmick1057]

#3 was a little pricey at more than 500K...

[@ronilittle7028]

Looks like the ideas came from space stations! Like the ones they set up in space! Fabulous!

Hello I'm Korean middle school studemt. So I can write wrong words. I am sorry. Top.1 house is amazing!! You are very smart. I want to grow up just like you!! You are my king👑. Now Korean time is night. But your time is afternoon. So I will say "Good afternoon.".

[@deidreperryman172]

WOW!!!! FOLDING HOMES! WHAT A CONCEPT. THEY SEEM TO BE CHEAPER THAN HOMES HERE IN CALIFORNIA, AND THEY ARE FULLY EQUIPPED. THANKS FOR SHARING. MY FAVORITES WE NO. 7, 5, 1. THEIR DESIGNS WERE PLEASING TO THE EYE AND WATCHING THEM FOLD DOWN FOR TRANSPORT SEEM EASIER THAN THE OTHERS.

[@tigerpisces5506]

None of these would be allowed in most communities by zoning and public works regulations. They require foundations. I bet they are not UL tested and has some unknown to be found carcinogenic chemicals in them. Home Building Corp are powerful!

[@marnkeldavis9987]

Ebs Block and the MA Di are definitely intriguing and mostly affordable which is my first priority! I also love that the MADi is modular.

[@terryi8892]

Interesting designs .........a portable permanent A-frame home. Cool.

[@jjfoster8939]

Number One is the most inspiring and versatlle. Thanks for posting!

[@carriewroot4919]

I like that you gave sq. footage and price information. Thanks

[@TheSuccessfulLeader]

Wow! So many great options that it is pretty hard to keep your request short. Under 50K and hopefully over a foundation. Great research.

[@69trublu]

The TenFold and the EBS-Block are the most intriguing of the group, just curious as to what options or expansion possibilities you have. The Blu Home "Breeze House", is basically a Modular home, that fits the timeframe, but I'm guessing the price is definitely directed more for Northern Cali. That price is pretty ridiculous.

Amazing engineering work... TENFOLD ENGINEERING & TRI-TAINER interests me the most

[@skydivekrazy76]

Ten fold was awesome. I'd like to see something like that, or a combination of that and the guy that has his open source compiled together so that people can craft their own Adobe homes.

[@rickyreed9754]

I'm humbled to see these types of homes. EBS Block and The Tri-Tainer should already be on the market for the homeless, below poverty level and single low income dwelling. Offered especially to the elderly and disabled. Housing based on income. True affordable housing for those less fortunate. The Ten Fold Homes could easily be a small town center or a multi family unit. With the combination of the three you could easily have a small town technically up overnight. SUBSCRIBED BECAUSE OF THIS VIDEO.

[@meredithlindner9596]

That A frame is super awesome and these Homes are so convenient! Being the partner of an ironworker that travels, this seems like a dream come true!

[@dr.mayawertheimer8857]

Ingenious, practical, mobile, and can be affordable... Wow!

[@naomivezeay3029]

Wow they were all so nice. My favorite was the #1.

[@TheByard]

Some very futuristic building in there, that have taken inspiration from construction site office and messing, changing room, and site living accommodation in the UK. Terrapin made a wooden fold out unit back in the 1950s . The core was truck legal and both sides unfolded with the roof acting as side sealed weather protection while the unit was in storage. The unit opened up as module 7 in the video, either by hand or more easlily with the use of a crane. The flat pack type we used on a US/UK Aid project in Cairo Egypt back in 1985 arrived as 4 stacked units making the size of a shipping container. It took about a day to assemble each site unit, a good feature was they were mounted on skips so they could be relocated around site or dragged onto a truck for transport elsewhere. The UK armed Forces used them a lot in overseas deployments. Old shipping containers were also equipped with workshop benches, windows & doors etc. That was stacked to one end and then Land Rovers excavators etc were loaded in and shipped to site, so the container was used for purpose and the recycled for site use. Another type was built by Portacabin offered back in the 1970s. These were fully assembled units that were fitted out as offices, messrooms, toilet/shower and living accommodation. But none of them were as sophisticated as the models shown in the video, thanks for that.

[@heathercita3]

The MADI is my favorite as far as what I can afford but I LOVE the BreezeHouse too. Such cool innovation going on out there! Thanks for sharing.

[@NMIBUBBLE]

Liked the last ones with the legs holding the house up and the truck leaving it behind that was interesting, like there’s different variations of this house every thing on one level too, it helps out in the long run no more climbing up stairs. It’s just nice to walk around on the same floor everything is there at your deposal and can be folded up and transported to another location.

[@kathleenmiller1362]

I liked #1 the best. I have mobility limitations so I need something that is all on one floor. It would be nice if you had a brochure that showed all the different models and floor plans with pricing. Thanks for being so innovated. Such an interesting concept.

[@joehelmick1057]

Totally agree, number 1 is the best, 10 minutes self deploy...

[@ttumadre]

Da gusto ver ingenios consevidos para múltiples propósitos enfocados en el bienestar humano, desde la república Bolivariana de Venezuela un fuerte abrazo y mis mas sinceras felicitaciones...Gracias

[@sheilajenkins7514]

Since the energy demands of our buildings is actually greater than our transportation system I think these designs give short shift to reducing our energy demands. Most of these designs would be suitable for only a perfect climate. With walls and ceilings that have minimal if any thermal insulation you would have to heat and cool these structures much more than a building with a well insulated wall and roof system. This looks good on the surface but we should look at not just form but function.

[@jeddon1577]

Exactly. Most jurisdictions would not allow structures w/ so much glass area. The energy codes restrict energy flow through the building's skin. JD AIA-E

[@pcat1000]

I like the Flatpack M.A.DI a-frame house. It is affordable for me as an artist, and is possible to expand linearly for more studio space. Will they still be around when I need to expand ?

[@ChesterHill100]

Ten fold is very cool engineering!

[@bonnieb8099]

#1. And #3 are my favorites they are a larger home plan so that a person or family could spend quality time inside and enjoy the plans openness to feel not too closed in. the windows and skylights would add to the open feeling of the home. Thanks for this view of some homes that are portable in a sense.

[@suzannemiller5868]

Would love to invest in the 10 fold houses because they look so spacious and eco friendly

[@graemel3069]

Awesome home designs! I particularly love the last one which looks fantastic and has such a large and stunning living area...

[@curtisburnett5884]

I really like the automated deployable modules.

[@adrianaguerra7764]

I THINK I LIKE #1.IT LOOKS SO EASY FOR SETTING UP. THANKS

[@c0546748375]

PLS PLZ PLEASE PROVIDE A LIST TO EACH OF THE HOUSES’ WEBSITE & A LIST OF THE CHEAPEST HOUSE INCLUDING ITS COST OF SETUP, so we can truly benefit. Thx in advance. Loved your #1 pick SO much that I ALMOST laughed out loud at the cleverness & easy setup, requiring only a press-of-the-button. Seems too good to be true.

[@mrst7831]

Wheelchair users would really benefit from these flexible choices and prices. Trying to find an apartment or house leaves a person living in sub standard housing or on the streets.

[@bakerperry5234]

The 2nd last design is awesome! Automated and cutting down costs. Also very smart with uneven ground level.

[@tomdepriest]

Ebs block would be amazing for retirement!

[@RRJeeepn]

In the early 1960s, the Air Force funded a competition for a folding house that could be deployed to various radar sites and missile sites. Our company won the competition with a 1,200 sq ft house whose design relied upon forty-foot hinges. The Air Force ordered several delivered to radar sites in the northern US although they were never moved as was the primary design requirement. These designs are really intriguing.

[@nononsense5182]

Gee, all this innovation...the homeless or displaced from floods, tornadoes etc. could really benefit from these awesome structures. Everyone deserves a place that can provide basic shelter.

[@bonnieprice9482]

The wing house ! I've always wished I could srink a design put it where I wanted and then proof made it bigger ..!! With all the earth changes these may be be very needed!!

[@gdtownshende]

Absolutely *_love_* that A-frame. The Breezehome was gorgeous, but far too pricey compared to all the rest.

[@nasariosantos1117]

Number one is my favorite because of its overall designe and no foundation required !

[@MsJinkerson]

[@priscillabanda1305]

We need to consider these innovations, as we explore and expand circular economies in Africa. We have vast land and a housing deficit. Thank you for the 7, I would like either homes 1 and 7 are interesting.

[@eileennavarrete5611]

Number 2, I can finally go on vacation and not worry about the neighborhood crook. Push of a button. Thumbs up

[@patrickhorkin9870]

Absolutely the most innovative concept in the building industry I have seen in a long time. Loved the breeze house; however #1 would work. Just moved to Tennessee and would love to bring this innovation to one of the hottest markets in the country. In the majority of the communities within an hour or so of booming Nashville there are no restrictions and plenty of land but no housing inventory.. This is also a part of the country where storm shelters are a hot ticket. I have been in the design and construction business for over 30 years. Would love to visit further about helping expand into the southeastern part of the country

[@andersonkhan903]

Love the Ideas...what are their resistance against hurricanes and earthquakes?

[@christinajohnstonperez9361]

[@robinbird1980]

i like the breeze way but, i was looking for one that i could pull with a bicycle.

[@splinterbyrd]

I always thought of myself as fairly inventive, but I never thought of this one. Love it!

[@pjb2773]

# 1 and # 5 because neither requires builders who can end up making the price prohibitive.

[@craigwilliams1073]

I've always loved the Blu Homes, but your #1 is making me rethink my choice!!!

[@henimsay]

I personally like #7 the wing house... Price is practical, unlike the breezehouse.

[@mariosampaio108]

i can design and build a true palace for less than the breeze house ;-)

[@love4theworld826]

love the A frame with balcony!

[@ROLCY2024]

Love all these ideas. I hope the companies in the video are surviving the pandemic. If I had land, I would definitely consider one of these options. It just makes sense. As I have explored tiny homes, I found a concrete house in Argentina that had the floor design of a shotgun house but with incredible storage. The important aspect was a downstairs bedroom. There is a loft too with storage under the stairs. The issue I have with the video is there is not much dedicated to the actual floor plan. However the concept is what is important.

[@ginagonzalez5763]

Wow!!! Tough choice. I would have to watch the video over and over again to see which one I like.

[@michaelmansfield1289]

Love the Ten Fold Engineering folding home. How much is the last version with the white open interior and the light wood flooring? Thanks.

[@veronicasalazar4203]

Precio de cada una d las casa por favor

I like the Northern California house for the style, the beautiful exterior wood walls and the central breezeway which could save a lot of money in summer if it can help keep the air conditioner turned off. But I love all of them.

[@nolanchapman5516]

I love the fact there rather cheap and some you can continue to add other units too, yes sir I want one of those A frames, a few actually!

I agree the A frame sure looks cool wouldn't want it for my permanent home but would be lots of fun.

[@stephenlove7787]

Hi, Minds Eye Design is awesome. Thank toy for being you.Think Ten Fold (the last one) seems right for my needs. I have lived in Costa Rica for 40 years and have built many eco-adventure lodges. I want to simplify the lodge construction (individual cabins - kitchen/dining - recreation - meeting - bar area. Also, I want to start manufacturing for mini/micro homes as Costa Rica is relatively expensive near the beach and so I want to be able to sell a home on a fully serviced lot for just under $200,000 with a decent profit. Cost of lot $50K, cost of house $50K to $75K, cost of marketing $25K. We are also looking at tent-like structures for the lodge. I have huge experience as to the environment in which the structures must harmonize with. Some will be on-grid and others off-grid. Any comments or contacts from other idea people are welcomed.
