Ever wanted to live inside a tumbleweed or hamster ball? OK, what about if the bumping and crashing were eliminated, making the experience more like living in one of creator Ma Yansong’s futuristic dwellings and less like Fievel Goes West?The Wysing Arts Centre in Cambridgeshire commissioned the Scandinavian art collective, N55, to provide an answer to hostile, grounded living — encouraging the Utopian idea that land should be accessible to all people. Whether or not this could actually work in real life (we think it’d be perfect for a modern-day Travels with Charley), the environmental benefits of this structure are definitely worth exploring.The aptly titled Walking House collects energy from its surroundings using solar cells and small windmills, recycles rainwater, boasts a composting toilet system, and comes with an optional greenhouse attachment. The structure can house up to four people (not recommended for the claustrophobic), and features a living room, kitchen, toilet, lofted beds, and a woodstove. It’s also built to cloister if traveling in a pack with other walking houses.The legs are modeled to mimic the pace of a human, and from the sights of this video, sleep wouldn’t be a problem as the feet seem to move in away that cause the structure to lull almost soothingly, like a cruise ship. Traveling at a speed of no faster than 60 meters/hour, the WALKING HOUSE would probably be best utilized in a park or open terrain.Photos via N55.
