<p>The same Japanese retail chain selling household supplies like space-saving furniture, bed linens and travel toothbrushes will soon sell pop-up houses, too, so you can literally walk out with a kit for an entire, fully-outfitted home in one trip. <a href="https://www.muji.com/jp/mujihut/">The Muji Hut</a>, designed by Konstantin Grcic, Jasper Morrison and Naoto Fukasawa for retailer <a href="http://www.muji.com">Muji</a>, comes in three variations starting at $25K. Each offers just enough space for one or two minimalist residents.</p>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/muji-huts-2.jpg"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="first-image img-responsive" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/muji-huts-2.jpg" alt="muji huts 2" width="800" height="533"></a></p>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/muji-hut-7.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-86912" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/muji-hut-7-468x314.jpg" alt="muji hut 7" width="468" height="314"></a></p>
<p>The Japanese housing market is a little different from that of the U.S. and other parts of the world in that real estate doesn&rsquo;t accrue value over time, and demand for preexisting houses is low. Not everybody has the money to knock down an old house and build a new one in its place, however, and lots tend to be tiny.</p>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/muji-huts-3.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-86916" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/muji-huts-3-468x312.jpg" alt="muji huts 3" width="468" height="312"></a></p>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/muji-huts-4.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-86915" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/muji-huts-4-468x312.jpg" alt="muji huts 4" width="468" height="312"></a></p>
<p>Each designer created their own version of an affordable, no-frills structure that can be assembled in short order, including one made of aluminum, a two-story timber creation and a little cabin clad in cork. Each takes inspiration from kyosho jutaku, the Japanese style of micro homes that aims to squeeze as much function out of tiny footprints as possible.</p>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/muji-huts-5.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-86914" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/muji-huts-5-468x318.jpg" alt="muji huts 5" width="468" height="318"></a></p>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/muji-huts-6.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-86913" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/muji-huts-6-468x312.jpg" alt="muji huts 6" width="468" height="312"></a></p>
<p>The Muji Huts are envisioned as weekend getaway destinations rather than full-time living spaces, but each contains a generous living room, bathroom and kitchen, and can be heated with a wood stove. The huts can be installed in virtually any location, from tight city lots to the banks of a river, and will be available for purchase in 2017.</p>
