House of the day: Plastic House by Dieter Schmid

Plastic House by Dieter Schmid was designed in 1963. Schmid was fascinated by the opportunities offered by construction with standard components. Plastic House was completely prefabricated and easily transportable. It was the first house of its kind in Europe. Schmid and his family lived in the house, on the outskirts of Biberach, Germany, for 11 years, before it was sold and demolished in 1975.
