Not beautiful, but not ugly. If you don't have a roof over your head it would be lovely...... Tongue Big Grin Big Grin

Nah...

That would depress the hell out of any homeless person. I expect better of the Japanese.

Hmnn, as it probably would have been paid for by the taxpayer, I'm afraid i would tell any complainers to go sleep in your car then.

Can't expect better of the Japanese when you look at the tiny cars they make for the home market. (Kei cars) Most of them are just fugly. Hard to create beauty when you are restricted in size..... take me for example Tongue Big Grin Big Grin

And me! Unless round and wrinkly appeals, lol.

But the Japanese do have an incredible aesthetic sense. As a culture... Just look at those geishas for instance...

Finding the land to put the homes is the issue now it seems, particularly in Auckland and same goes for Tauranga.
China has been big on the whole 3D printing idea too.

And Oz. The last series of The Block had a pool house printed into being...

I think it is the coils that put me off, reminds me of an unfinished coil built pot. Maybe it they plaster finish the walls it would appeal more to my western sensibilities!

Is it so nicely rounded to avoid injury if somebody inadvertently steps on one?

Ugly ugly ugly perhaps if you stuck a dozen or so together, they could work. And put some colour on the damn things - WHY the devil is everything regulation pale grey these days fgs??!
Incidentally, grey has to be the most depressing colour in existence, hideous, hideous colour.

Its a good idea in principle but needs work - & colour. Maybe get a Geisha to design one - I learned this week that Geisha literally means art person so they could hardly do worse. Smile

I will get my hair tinted right away. Pity, it took a long time to get this colour..  Tongue

If that price is in US$, a 37,600 dollar car might well be bigger than that house.
Would white with red spots suit? It works well on toadstools - - -

 . . . isn't it just marking where a redhead's fire has gone out?

I may become a fugitive shortly. Anybody know where there's a one-armed man waiting to get blamed?
