Can You See It?

In reality, this concept will only work if it is in an isolated location known only to its owner and wild animals. Having said that, it could even be difficult to find it, since it is known as Disappear Retreat and does, quite literally, blend into the surroundings.

Conceptualised by architecture firm COULSON, it is described as a transparent, triple-zero, compact and prefabricated building, measuring just 83ft 2 .

The prototype construction is underway and come 2019, they will be available for public use in the boreal forest near Grand Marais, Minnesota in the US.
