Comments on “MUJI Hut
Ryan Hoover@rrhoover · Founder, Product Hunt
Normally I dislike auto-playing audio on landing pages but this site creates a mood that's memorable. Apparently they're being sold in August this year in Japan for ¥3,000,000 (~$43,000). There's also a YC company, Boxouse, from the last batch that's building something similar in the U.S.

@rrhoover Muji looks like what Boxouse should have been... great site, well designed space, great visuals.. Boxous looks like they built their site with their iPhone.

@rrhoover I think it works here because there's no apparent alternative to do anything else besides watch what's being presented (aside from the absolute sereneness)

@rrhoover Wouldn't that be more around $27,000 USD? I'm assuming its Japanese Yen not Chinese Yen
Jason Bill Aston@jason_bill_aston · Artist
@steventhanna @rrhoover Yes...its $27k

@steventhanna @rrhoover its £21265.51 or £27225.2100 - wow enough to buy a house in parts of Wales. Its beautiful but I wish these things come in at no more than the £2000 mark and is sustainable and eco friendly (putting together extra)

@rrhoover Boxous looks like a good candidate for demolition

Looks beautiful. Perfect for the TinyHouse trend.

This is a redesign of an older product. There's also the 9 tsubo house from Boo Hoo Woo if you need just a little more space http://www.100khouse.com/2010/01...

@abasa Oh wow the 9 tsubo is amazing looking!

We are looking at the building blocks of our future utopia
KerryBodle@liquidchickenqq · Founder: Social-Friendzy.com
@jmedwards they look really inviting! I was hoping our future utopia would include a kitchen and bathroom though. 😳
Iiro@iiropikkarainen
I really like the design of this hut. As an idea its really similar to those huts build from shipping containers (we call them: "konttikoti" in Finnish). Really cool product! 👌

I like these tiny houses. It's a bit expensive for me ;)

When you think about it, 43k is still a lot of money for this size. This will remain a rich persons toy for a while.

@arecenello yeah. you need land etc

Nice coffin.

I like the burnt cedar look and would love to see rainwater collection and a few extras (toilet, water tank etc)

I need a bathroom!  See more

Bunkie guys did this years ago
Jack Smith@_jacksmith · Serial Entrepreneur & Startup Adviser
@ispekhov did what? designed a small house? nothing is about who is first. Uber wasn't first - Sidecar was, we saw how that played out. first = means nothing

Projects such as these and Boxouse give me hope that there is a solution to the housing crisis but I am concerned over regulatory pushback at the local level. Where will they build and will the demand end up negating the promised benefits of such housing?
Amanda K Gordon@amandakgordon · Product Strategist
Love MUJI, love this: it's true to their mission and a really neat expansion into housing. Nice immersive site. Would love to see more of this especially with housing affordability (or lack thereof) in Australia.
Jack Smith@_jacksmith · Serial Entrepreneur & Startup Adviser
love the design here. I've seen a lot of companies working on this. there was also one at LAUNCH conference. will be interesting to see how the competitive landscape plays out

So it's a camper without the mobility? I feel like I must be missing something.
