Portable pods get around housing crisis

FUTURE generations of home-hunters struggling to find the perfect package of an affordable dwelling in a dream location could find the answer with a portable pod, it was claimed yesterday.

The sci-fi style concept dreamed up by architect Marcin Panpuch would allow them to chop and change their postcodes using a “moveable” house costing as little as a car. Mr Panpuch’s creation could float on a river and then be uprooted to different locations to suit the owner’s changing lifestyle.

The clear spherical pods - which Polish-born Mr Panpuch estimated would cost from £20,000 to £30,000 - are his answer to London’s increasingly overheated housing market.
