Anyone looking for a home to buy knows that the value of real estate keeps rising. So if you are looking for a corner to call yours and don't have a lot of money to invest, how about adopting a more minimalist lifestyle and building a 1 square meter home for only $ 600?

According to CNN, the house was designed by architect Van Bo Le-Mentzal, with enough room - of course - for just one person. But it is wrong to think that the wooden box does not technically have almost all the facilities that a conventional home.

It was a very funny house...

Mentzal's invention, in addition to ceiling, door, window and walls, also has a folding table and enough space for you to sleep, and can be easily carried anywhere. According to the architect, to be able to live in a house like this, it is first necessary to change our conception of this space.

Thus, Mentzal invites us to imagine any park as our garden, the city as our living room, and so on, which would lead us to the conclusion that this little house may actually be the biggest house in the world.

The house is not for sale, but the architect provides all the instructions and bill of materials for its construction free of charge, only asking in return that you tell him why you want to have 1 square meter of your own.
