If you were tired of your snazzy lifestyle and want to get out of everything around you, you have the choice of leading the life of a rich tramp. Though rich tramp is an oxymoron, it isn’t a bad idea to have loads of money and still be able to walk around for free like a hobo or a tramp.
Now you would be used to all the comfort and dignity of your platinum blond lifestyle so you would want something to carry around with you, which lets you be a hobo but also stay in luxury. With this in mind, Schemata Architecture has created Paco which allows for transient living. It is a space which is portable and can be installed wherever there is a facility for waste disposal and water.

Prefabricated homes often reek of boring designs that are practical yet more than just an eye-sore. They also bring to mind the thought of being away from home, living in unfamiliar spaces or perhaps even, in extreme cases, having to live in a prefab home because one has lost their real home.
The attachment one has with their home, thus, is a close bond that is difficult to break or to replace. But that was a thing of the past, before the appearance of cool prefab homes. The Paco takes after the style of innovative designing of prefabricated homes which are beautiful and creative. Paco is a prefab cube which made its first appearance at the Happa Gallery in Japan. Designed by Jo Nagasaka in collaboration with the Schemata Architecture firm, Paco is designed to exists within some other space. All of 3 square metres, Paco has all the essentials of a home: kitchen, toilet, shower, hammocks for sleeping and folding tables for any other work.
