Kit house-Hof Haus

Hooked up with UK tv AGAIN-the reason i say AGAIN, is because it kind of comes and goes. I wouldn't go into detail-long story short- my landlord won't allow me to put up the satellite on the wall, so is on a stand plus it is 2 years old, not stable anymore, whenever the wind blows, i have to pray.....

Glad to be connected to the real world again, i find myself watching my all time favourite-Grand Design with Kevin McCloud(check it out in youtube) They talked about brilliant home architecture, obviously, not each one of them is my favourite, but i have to admit, im completely blown over by this week's feature-Hof Haus.

You have to admire the efficiency and the cleverness of the Germans. It was just unbelievable to watch. Check out the concept behind the company(http://www.huf-haus.com/). The distinctive feature of the Hof Haus is its post and beams architecture with huge glass, it has signature Bauhaus characteristic-'focus on the essential, where everything has its purpose and nothing is wasted', with smart engineering and careful planning, they 'deliver' the house in pieces (think ikea) to the building site, and put it up in a week-with water and electricity, no delays. Isn't it amazing? Absolutely blown me away. check out the video:

It feels so great to be inspired.
