But two Ukrainian robotics entrepreneurs are trying to find a solution by launching HOMErs, a range of factory-made tiny homes that can be built within days.
The three-module, fully-furnished properties sell for $18,000 and have managed to give desperate Ukrainian families a new home in a time of need.The HOMErs factory in Kyiv currently produces between 10 to 15 modular homes a month, though the company is looking to scale up.Modular homes are pre-manufactured buildings that are put together in a factory.
An entire house can be flat-packed and transported on a truck, Chris Baxter, a non-executive board member for the group, told Insider.The company is selling homes in Ukraine but has also expanded its business to the UK where Baxter thinks it could offer a solution for Ukrainian refugees in need of temporary housing.The living room of a HOMErs modular home.The open-concept dining room and kitchen in a HOMErs modular home.The homes are grid-connected and fully furnished.
