Build your own house in 4 hours & no planning permission needed
A university boffin has created what he believes is a solution to the UK's looming housing crisis - . a three-storey flat pack home.
Dr Mike Page has created the QB2 'cube house', which measures 3m tall and 4m wide, and can sleep up to two people.
The house is said to be as easy to put together as an Ikea bookcase and takes just four hours to build.
Despite the cube's compact dimensions, it features a lounge, spiral staircase, kitchen, full size bathroom and bedroom - all spread over three floors.
It achieves this through ingenious internal design doubling up bookcases as a mini spiral staircase and storage under the kitchen.
Remarkably, the structure costs as little as £10,500 and does not require planning permission because it is under 4m in height.

It is a great invention although putting the kitchen next to the bed area isn't ideal because of the smell.
