We love it when people find completely unique ways to make small house dreams come true, and we think this tiny transforming truck from Japan is a great example of creativity. Three high school buddies are the brains and brawn behind this project, which took a used Toyota truck and converted it into a two-story camper.

Hometta is looking for help – they’re putting together a list of modern custom builders. Do you know a builder who isn’t afraid of a flat roof? Who embraces the opportunity to build a sustainable, architectural, design-forward house? It seems that true modern-friendly builders are a bit of a rare breed. Have you had a house built, or partnered with a builder on a project, or just know someone who built a particularly beautiful modern house? Are you a modern builder yourself?
Submit nominations to Hometta via email.
If Hometta can pull this off the list will be an excellent resource for all modernists, architects and future modern homeowners.
