The Plastic Tent House
Commune Studio
“This design [of the Plastic Tent House] was based upon two requirements: one, that it be a system, not particularly sophisticated, yet involving permutation; and two, that I could build it pretty much with my own hands, which over a year and a half time, I did.” - John M. Johansen
Designed and hand-built by Johansen, the Plastic Tent House is a steel frame with sixty-four “attachment points” from which platforms and living spaces are suspended, braced by high-tension steel cables. The entire house is covered by translucent plastic panels, giving the appearance of a plastic tent…amazing!
