It isn’t a home. It is a room. It is a $27,000 shed. It has no plumbing, no kitchen, no shower/toilet. It merely a “guest room” for your property. And people are calling it a micro-home??!!

Beat me to it.
For the price of that stylish Japanese box I can buy a much larger tool shed from Home Depot for about $6000, and with the money saved put in plumbing and electricity and insulation (and probably a deck/hot tub out back.)
But I will say, the Muji looks nice.

Yep. Hell - when I was a teenager I built much bigger sheds than that.
And quite a bit cheaper. Scrounged the lumber.

It actually has a similar look to this beautiful outhouse.
(The outhouse has a toilet, though.)
