MultiPod Studio has developed the Pop-Up House; a unique approach to passive prefabricated construction. The entire structure of the ten available Pop-Up Houses (floors, walls, ceiling) can be constructed by assembling insulating blocks with wooden panels in about four days (depending upon size) with a wireless screwdriver.
