The Prefab KODA House Can Be Modified & Moved As Much As You Want

By

Do you ever wish you could have a stylish work studio right on your property? Or maybe you want a place to host your in-laws during an extended stay? What if there was one building that could be your work studio one month and then transform into a guest house the next? Kodasema has created just that with their concrete KODA movable prefab.

The KODA house was designed to be repurposed and relocated as many times as you may need. With no foundation required, it can be placed just about anywhere. All Kodasema needs is level ground, a clear path for their crane, and access to utility hookups – all of which they can help you with. Once your KODA is delivered, it is move-in ready the next day. Want it moved to a different part of the property? Just contact Kodasema and they will come out to move it for you, again with just a one-day turn around time.

The flexibility of the KODA house allows you to setup a convenient work studio on your property near your home or turn it into a guest house and move it a bit further from the main house for more privacy. KODAs can also be combined to create mini shopping plazas, a series of rental homes, or a unique urban village. The basic shell of the structure allows for it to be configured to fit your current needs, as well as reconfigured for future needs.

Flexibility isn’t the only thing this house has going for it. KODAs are eco-friendly smart homes. They come equipped with solar panels, climate and CO2 controls, an RFID entry system, and built-in LED lights. The concrete used by Kodasema was developed specially for these homes and is waterproof, weatherproof, and maintenance-free. As one more bonus, should you ever decide you no longer need your KODA, it can be disassembled and reused, meaning there is zero construction waste to take it down.

Of course no one wants to live or work in a boring concrete block. Kodasema thought of that, too. The interiors are sleek, contemporary spaces that can be designed any way you want. Walls can be painted, wood flooring can be added, and one whole wall is glass – allowing natural light to pour in and keep the space bright and welcoming.

From Lost to The Twilight Zone, these are the best sci-fi shows ever made

Sci-fi television has been around since the earliest days of the medium, and it's evolved along with the rest of television. In every era, though, there have been great sci-fi shows that remind us of how well the genre can fit on television.

Great science fiction can reflect on the world we know, even as it expands our understanding of what's possible. Regardless of exactly what these shows are about, though, each of them tells their story in gripping fashion, taking full advantage of what TV is capable of.

‘The Brutalist’ director Brady Corbet says he’s made no money promoting the film
The director said that he makes more directing commercials than he does making movies.

It can be wonderful to get nominated for a bunch of awards, but The Brutalist director Brady Corbet said that it's not exactly a profitable one. In an interview on WTF with Marc Maron, Corbet said that he hadn't actually made any money promoting the movie.

“This is the first time I’ve made any money in years,” Corbet said, saying that his first real paycheck in a long time came from directing three advertisements in Portugal. “Both my partner and I made zero dollars on the last two films we made. Yes, actually zero. So we had to just live off of a paycheck from three years ago and obviously, the timing during an awards campaign and travel every two or three days was less than ideal, but it was an opportunity that landed in my lap, and I jumped at it.”

John Malkovich said that he rejected Marvel movies prior to ‘Fantastic Four’ over low pay
He explained that Marvel movies took a lot of time, and he wanted to be paid accordingly.

Over the course of its 15 years of existence, Marvel has lured a number of surprising actors into its orbit. We live in a world where Angelina Jolie and Harry Styles have both appeared in Marvel projects (actually the same one).

John Malkovich was one of the last Marvel holdouts, but that's changing with The Fantastic Four: First Steps. In an interview with GQ, Malkovich explained that he had been approached to do Marvel projects in the past, but had always turned them down.
“The reason I didn’t do them had nothing to do with any artistic considerations whatsoever,” Malkovich explained. “I didn’t like the deals they made, at all.”
He explained that he simply wanted more money to work through the conditions required to make a movie on this scale.
“These films are quite grueling to make…. If you’re going to hang from a crane in front of a green screen for six months, pay me. You don’t want to pay me, it’s cool, but then I don’t want to do it, because I’d rather be onstage, or be directing a play, or doing something else," he continued.
Malkovich is, perhaps unsurprisingly, playing villain Ivan Kragoff, also known as Red Ghost in the film. He explained that working on the movie was actually like stage work in some respects. "It’s not that dissimilar to doing theater,” he said, “You imagine a bunch of stuff that isn’t there and do your little play.”
