It's the ultimate flatpack to challenge even the keenest DIY enthusiast - a kit of wooden pieces that can be clicked together without nails or concrete to create an entire two-bedroom house.
And if you ever felt like just packing up and moving away - you could do with this home.
Architects created this flat-pack 1,250-square-foot 'property' that can be simply slotted together.
London-based architecture specialist Facit Homes partnered up with a pair of Danish architects to make the impressive villa - which took just six weeks to build.
The ultimate DIY project: The flat pack house can be quickly assembled
Unique! The lightweight home can snap together like Lego blocks
The easy to assemble home is an environmentally friendly alternative to building a new house
The parts were produced in a rapid-prototyping machine, Fast Code Design website reported.
