Headed by architect Eric Bigot, the driving concept behind ZenKaya is to make building a house as simple as buying a car. Once you have the house, the design is such that your lifestyle will be compact and simple as well; the studio unit is 3.4 meters wide by 6 meters in length; their system is expandable up to a two bed, two bathroom-sized home. Overall, simplicity combined with customization is the name of the game at ZenKaya -- "a headache-free process with cutting edge design," they call it. They want the design, production and delivery process to be as efficient as possible, leaving more time, money and energy to enjoy living. ::ZenKaya via ::Land+Living
