Humans are developing new places to live in. In the south of Silicon Valley sits the Monterey Peninsula, where you’ll find a moveable community that’s being designed as a rest region for the region’s tech elites(精英).

Walden Monterey was founded in 2016 by developer Nick Jekogian, who set out to turn the 609-acre land into a coastal “agrihood” community, a growing trend among the tech elites in which they avoid the idea of belonging to golf communities, unlike what the previous generations have done, and instead enjoy agricultural neighborhoods that focus on nature, farms, and outdoor living.

The property plans to build 22 homes in total, with the lots they sit costing about $1 million each(three lots have been sold, as of September 2018). After the sales are made, buyers can work with a team of more than 20 architects assembled by Jekogian to then pay additional millions each for home construction.

A key step in the buying process involves potential buyers actually visiting the land. Jekogian invites people to stay in “moveable rooms” or small moveable glass houses, which allow them to experience what living on the land would actually be like.

But now, Walden Monterey will soon provide a new way to try out the land. The design studio DFA, founded by Laith Sayigh, was approached by Walden Monterey to design a house for potential buyers to stay each in while they think about purchase decisions.

The 3D-printed houses, named Galini Sleeping Pods, are 300 square feet in size, can be moved anywhere, are powered by solar panels, wind turbines and Tesla batteries, and will cost about $250,000 each. Sayigh told Business Insider that they’ re not just a future staple for the Walden Monterey community, but that they represent the next generation of construction technology.
