Are you looking to downsize from your expensive city apartment? Or maybe you’re just looking to simplify your life? Well now you can do so in style thanks to a collaboration between famed Japanese architect Kengo Kuma and Snow Peak, a Japanese manufacturer of outdoor goods. Kuma’s "Jyubako" has been in the works for a while. He originally conceived the idea for a mobile home during a trip to the Sahara Desert when he was a graduate school student. Since then he has distilled and perfected his concept. It’s now taken the form of a minimalist rectangular box made from hinoki plywood. When all the windows and doors are closed it can look simply like a large block of wood.
