These $133,000 tiny homes can be taken apart in a few hours to move with their owners

A new tiny house, called the Koda, is designed to move with inhabitants.
A construction crew from Kodasema, the Estonian design firm that created the 269-square-foot home, can assemble it in less than 10 hours, and disassemble it in four hours.
Kodasema unveiled the home in late 2016. Now the team is building small villages of Kodas near downtowns in four cities: Tallinn, Estonia, Amsterdam, Netherlands, London, England, and Almere, Holland. The furnished houses will come in three different models: "Koda for Living," "Koda for Studying," and "Koda for Working." They will function as homes, classrooms, and offices respectively in the villages.
The first village will be in Tallinn, which the team expects to open in October 2017, cofounder Ülar Mark told Business Insider.
Kodas are now available to order online in the four cities, with prices starting at €120,000 (or about $132,500). These owners will manage the homes for people who will rent them out for days, months, or years at a time. The rent will differ depending on the city, and how long guests live there. (For example, Kodas in Tallinn will cost $100 per night, or between $825 and $1,200.)
The company might expand sales internationally if Kodasema can manage to ramp up production, Mark said. Check it out below.
