I've always had a special place in my heart for pre-fab dwellings. There's something romantic about living in a small shelter in a beautiful nature setting (check out that mountain cliff) with just the bare necessities. Sort of like camping, yah? Pair that with atomic, space-aged, mid-century goodness, and I'm in love. I'm fascinated by the optimism of the 60's, when technology could solve all problems.
I guess only 96 Futuro Houses were ever built (just 16 in the U.S.) by Finnish architect, Matti Suuronen, in 1968. It is estimated that only 60 originals remain. I found a nice little informational YouTube video of how it was made.
P.S. Eek! There is a Futuro vacation rental in Wisconsin! Oh, I'm so there.
