The company who makes this tiny house is called Habitaflex, and you might actually consider it a small house instead of a tiny one.
Because it folds out large enough for an entire family to live in. It uses a crank system to fold and unfold.
Plus keys to turn to lock and unlock for folding. No foundation is needed because the home can be built into a trailer that you can pull yourself.
It comes with cabinets, kitchen sink, oven, fan, toilet, and a full sized shower.
It would take you 2 to 3 hours for 2-3 people to set it up or put it away.
For rolling the walls together there is a rolling mechanism that is built in. The roof is also lowered by crank.
The width of the house is 8 feet when it’s folded up into a trailer, here watch the video so you can see it for yourself in action…
Below are more screen shots in case you have a slower connection or don’t want to stream video.
The Habitaflex is a subsidiary of Maisons Laprise Inc who is a manufacturer of energy efficient prefab homes since 1989.

wild! But where does all the furniture go?
Cool! How do I look into getting something like this?
Hi Julie here is the link to their contact info: http://www.habitaflex.com/contact.php
Cathryn – not too sure about all the furniture! I hope it’s properly planned to fold along with the whole setup.
@Julie if you liked this you might want to check this one out too, called the Cai House:

Looking to build something similar but not in house fashion, i have an idea for a fully enclosed collapsible party trailer, like a Christmas card when you open it every thing extends & already bolted to floor and ready for use, then when done, clean and fold & bring home.
Perhaps we get together and design greatness,
thanks for your time.
Once upon a time, Sears sold homes out of a catalog that you put together. Then circle is completing itself.
