Futuro House in Texas

When visiting my mom in the States, I stopped by to check out a pre-fabricated 'Futuro House' in Royse City, Texas. In 1965, Finnish designer Matti Suuronen set out to design an après-ski cabin that would be efficient to heat and easy to transport, giving rise to the Futuro home—truly a product of the Space Age with its sleek, UFO-like shape. Made of fiberglass-reinforced plastic to reduce weight, the modular panels were meant to be bolted together on site, and the structure’s metal legs could be adapted for different topographies. Though marketed as a prefabricated tiny home suitable for the masses, fewer than 100 Futuro pods were made, with an estimated 60 still in existence.

No idea how this one ended up bando in the middle of nowhere in a Texas field, but here it is. ☠️🛸☠️
