Does this count? Japanese capsule hotels: interesting in a "I can't believe that's a thing" sort of way.
Your agonizer, please.

...I sorta LIKE the notion of a tiny sleeping niche, actually - but not in a building full of other people.

That most certainly counts because you found it interesting. The major purpose of this thread is to highlight the variety of architecture found in buildings and shelters around this world.

I would also enjoy the small space building if it was not similiar to putting fish into sealed cans.

We've been watching survival shows sometimes- Naked and Afraid, Fat Guys in the Woods, and Alone.

I find the lean-to shelter interesting, particularly made from hemlock trees and with a fire in front.



Also, the more permanent version-

But my interest is mostly a tangent idea to make a haunted house out of them, you could just arrange the pre-decorated containers into a maze then haul them away for storage when done.

Until now the battle had been proceeding smoothly. The enemy was outflanked and had been driven from the reactor housing, but against the reactor itself the matter canons were strangely ineffective. Rounds simply-stopped-in mid air.
