The rising cost of home ownership has motivated many to look for alternatives: some are turning to mortgage-free options like tiny houses, while others are experimenting with things like co-housing or global co-living subscriptions, which allow you to lease living and work spaces out of a global network of properties.
Following along the lines of this "living as a service" subscription model is Berlin, Germany's Cabin Spacey, a minimalist, modular and smart technology-enabled prefab that can be placed anywhere there might be placed in under-utilized urban areas such as roofs or parking lots. But owners don't own just one Cabin; these are actually going to be "location independent homes... It’s a new way of housing where you simply pay as you live." As the company explains:
No matter where you plan to live: Cabin Spacey exploits previously untapped potential. The minimal homes for new living conquer your city’s upper-most level – its rooftops. Berlin alone has space for 55,000 apartments on unused roofs that are unsuitable for regular development. This is where Cabin Spacey comes in. [..] Cabin Spacey offers easy access to new, innovative, and purist living spaces for urban nomads or anyone else fed up with the restrictions of traditional living.
