Places to Stay: A New Age Tent for the Modernist

Camping and prefab collide with the Paco Cube. This three meter space for living anywhere provides portability and home-like comfort in the location of your choosing. From beaches to woods, this multi-functional space is a cool innovation. Priced at $65,427 USD, it’s a significantly higher investment than your typical tent, but if you’re planning to flee to a Caribbean beach or a remote forest for an extended period of time, this might be just right for you.

As Cool Hunting aptly points out: “The wonder is in Paco Cube’s layout, as the readymade kit includes a kitchen, shower, toilet, sleeping hammock, desk and lighting. The details of the space would make the curators of MoMA’s prefab exhibition proud: the roof unlatches with hydraulic lifts (strong enough to hold the hammock when the hatch is open); sheer yet waterproof fabric encases the shower; the kitchen includes a tiny door to the outside for barbecuing; and the skylight and two LED 60 watt light fixtures keep things nice and green.” Click Read More for additional photos and information.
