"This situation calls for us to tread lightly through prefab 'PropTech' structures that could be packed up and re-erected someplace else," he told Dezeen. "Someone could also put this unit into their garden and possibly start a little side business for themselves."
The buildings are designed to have a minimal impact on the landscape
The first Stilt Studio to be constructed will be a studio for Dornier and his team. They plan to build it in the midst of woodland, where they can benefit from the shade of surrounding trees.
However, Dornier is keen t...
