Pick up or convertible? An electric vehicle concept gives consumers the opportunity to change. Not so easy with a house or a flat design, though.
At least, until now. Thanks to a Cambridge-based research team, residents could soon alter the layout of their houses to meet their changing needs.
No need to knock through interior walls when they are flexible and made of engineered wood. The key ingredients are thin bendable strips of wood, also used to make violins, inserted at intervals.
Meaning walls can be pushed together without being broken, or relocated, making renovation work both more cost-effective and environmentally-friendly.
Could work well with: transparent wood instead of window glass. A donut-shaped skyscraper design is similarly flexible.
