A Minimalist, Modular, Easily Transportable Cabin

Seelenkiste (Soulbox) is a minimalist cabin with a modular design that allows it to be easily transported. It is intended as a retreat and “research station” for people seeking escape from everyday life. The cabin features two floors with a downstairs eating area and an upstairs living space, and a bed between the two floors.

This looks like the perfect thing to take to Burning Man. Take six or so and you've created your own suburb.
