Many Avant Garde architects and designers of the 1960s / 70s became fascinated with the idea of minimal living, a secluded retreat, escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and relaxation in the middle of nature. Thanks to new pliable materials, plastics, with their free and easy formability, lightness and especially their novelty, they developed micro bungalows and houses as either secondary vacation homes or for use in gardens. Italian developer Carlo Zappa undertook the challenge of designing and producing such a micro bungalow which eventually became commonly known as 'BANGA' .The first models rolled off the production line in 1971 and went through three production phases before production eventually ceased in 1985. Carlo Zappa not only developed the initial project, but personally executed the moulds, construction solutions, all the services detailing ie electrical, plumbing and metal hardware. Zappa's micro bungalow featured a total of 8.1 square meters of floor space. It offered space for up to three people thanks to a bunk bed, which could be folded down as a sofa during the day. A small bathroom with wash basin, shower / toilet, a small kitchen unit with sink and water heater...

THE XASTEROS HOUSE Made from fibreglass and measuring 50m, the Xasteros House is something of a rarity. it is believed that no more than ten exambles were ever manufactured The patent for the design was registered in September 1969 for a company called Alta, which whom Nikolaos Xasteros collaborated. Between 1973 and 1978. he went on to produce them under his own name. Originally, the interior was divided into a sitting room, small kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. Some 15 years ago, one of the structures was discovered abandoned in a forest close to the seaside resort of Loutraki to the west of Athens. After the interior was gutted, the house was exhibited at the 2nd Athens Biennale in 2009 by the Greek architecture collective, Errands. Rather enigmatically, the group lost track of it soon after it was dismantled and its whereabouts today are unknown. Apart from the one at Terra Remota, only one other example is believed to exist for certain today. Located directly on the coast in Kalyvia Thorikou, it has been integrated into a larger structure and now sits on a platform to which it is linked via a staircase.
