The futuristic prefabricated homes developed by Inspiral Architecture and Design Studios are designed to be both stylish and expandable, with the ability to be placed on a variety of terrain and deployed rapidly.

"Whether it's an urban area in a wealthy country or a developing country battling climate change, the Drop Pod provides the solution," says the company's website.

"Nowadays, we see ourselves more and more confronted with issues of constant population growth and major changes in our climate."

For decades, sea levels have risen about 8 millimeters per year, according to a video report shot in Indonesia by Al Jazeera. This has caused major flooding and tidal surges that have consumed thousands of homes.

Drop Pod saw the need for a house that is quick to distribute and easy to install. Their goal was to provide a tiny house that is both user and environmentally friendly.

"The design provides a quality space that can be built in one week," claims the firm. And, the stone foundation, which elevates the home above potential floodwaters also allows the structure to be placed on sloped terrain with ease.
