A Walking House

Walking HouseHardly any of us dreamed favorite, cozy home can not move, not to divide with the convenience and comfort, which we are accustomed and which we have created in their own taste. Danish design studio N55, seemed to find a solution for this. It submitted a draft of the house walking (Walking House), which is moved by six mechanical legs, not dependent on whether there are roads built, they will be able to go through different terrains. The main module of the house will be 2.3 meters in height, width 2.4 meters and a length of 8 meters, and weighs 1 tonne. According to the designers of this area will be able to live up to 4 people, such as by connecting multiple units can be made larger and walking home. The maximum speed that the house will be able to develop is 5 miles per hour – according to the authors of the project the average speed with which one moves is appropriate because it is proved that it also achieves good concentrations of thinking. Each leg will operate as an autonomous unit, will have its own engines and batteries. In movement three of them will always be standing on the ground to provide the necessary stability.
The house will enable nomadic life, moving slowly with minimal environmental impact, according to N55. It will gather energy through solar panels and small wind turbines and will have a system for collecting rainwater. The house can be added a small greenhouse in which to grow a significant part of the food needed for the residents of the house. Among other things, the house is amphibious and can move on water, promising designers. Currently there are no ready walking house, but plans are soon to be built prototype.
