Sculpting a Small Space

Sculpting a home out of a small space is an art form with practical results.

Pushbutton House
The "Pushbutton House" is a shipping container that opens to reveal a sectional apartment. When asked if it's a home or an art project, Adam Kalkin, a conceptual artist and architect, says: "It's a theater piece; it's a sculpture? I don't know what it is. It's a machine." While clearly not practical as a primary residence, Kalkin's project challenges our ideas of what we call home.

You'd never know by looking at it that this shipping container houses, well, a house. A few years ago, Adam Kalkin was commissioned to create a house that would travel around the country. That project fell through, but the idea of a space that could totally transform itself lingered, and Kalkin began work on the "Pushbutton House." The 8-foot-wide, 20-foot-long container opens to a 160-square-foot living space.
