pipe dream  /ˈpīp ˌdrēm/ v.

Pipe Dream is a modular house constructed from repurposed concrete pipe.

This imaginative dwelling can fit into almost any narrow lot — or multiple units built on a single plot. Live in one and rent the others out. Perfect as a starter home or if you're looking to downsize.

Despite the modest size, it feels very spacious with plenty of natural light from porthole windows and floor-to-ceiling glass walls.

Additional features include solar skylights, custom built-in storage, a chef-inspired kitchen, and a private patio encompassed by a circular hydroponic garden.

Pipe Dream is modern, edgy, energy-efficient, and durable. It's also the coolest pad on the block!

DURABILITY

Concrete is the most durable and sustainable construction material. It won't burn, rust, tear, buckle, or deflect. It's corrosion-free and immune to pests. There is no roof or gutters, so no roof leaks, repairs or replacement. The life span for concrete building products is triple those of other common building materials.

HIGH STRENGTH

Each of the pipe's five sections weight 48,000 pounds, for a total empty house weight of 120 tons. The solid one foot thick walls and dome shape provide greater protection against the elements than a typical home and offer near-absolute protection against natural disasters such as tornadoes and hurricanes.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

The thermal mass of the reinforced concrete keeps the conditioned air in and extreme temperatures out. The airtight structure filters out noises from the outside, and homeowners can expect a 50% or more reduction in energy costs than a conventional stick-built home.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY

Concrete is a natural eco-friendly construction material that minimizes environmental impact, is easily recycled, and promotes sustainable energy. The pre-constructed pipes are transported to the property and assembled, so there are minimal construction and material waste.
