Japanese retailer Muji has released a new product: a nine square meter prefabricated building called “Muji Hut.” The hut, which will go on sale in August this year in Japan, will cost approximately 3 million Japanese yen (NT$822,000) inclusive of tax.
The hut’s minimalist form is designed to fit into a wide range of environments and, according to the product description, blurs the boundaries between a sustainable house and a vacation home.
Muji Hut comes in three versions made from wood, aluminium and cork designed by celebrated Japanese designer Naoto Fukasawa, German designer Konstantin Grcic and British designer Jasper Morrison. Each hut is designed with simplicity in mind and to satisfy the basic needs of the owner.

Muji says its product is “not as dramatic as owning a house or a vacation home, but it’s not as basic as going on a trip.” Wether placed in the mountains, by the sea or in a garden, Muji says its hut will seamlessly blend in with the surroundings. At present, the three versions of the Muji Hut are only available for sale within Japan.
