Those of you that follow the container architecture scene know the name of Adam Kalkin. Here, he's the designer of the Push Button House, which was exported by a company called Illy for display in Europe. At the push of a button, the container opens like a flower, transforming a simple, rectangular box into a fully furnished, functional space. Using hydraulic cylinders controlled by a computer inside the kitchen, the house container literally expands into a six-room apartment with a kitchen, dining room, bathroom, bedroom, living room and library in a mere 60 seconds. The entire house was created from recycled materials, showcasing the best of Kalkin's industrial creativity.
