How a team of architects built a stunning contemporary home in just 3 days by Raisa Bruner on Feb 2, 2016, 3:45 PM A Portuguese team has crafted a sleek pre-fabricated house that takes just three days to construct, from laying the foundation to moving in the furniture. The 860-square-foot structure is a marvel of minimal contemporary design, made with reinforced concrete, wood, slate, and glass and designed to be a simple, speedy solution to housing demands. Architect Samuel Gonçalves of the SAAS studio is behind the project. "It's an evolutionary system," the design firm explains. Each section of the home (or "Gomo") is built as an individual module, then transported to the construction site on a truck bed and offloaded for final assembly. Before even leaving the factory, though, the module is fully decked out with all the interior and exterior components it needs. That includes furnishings, insulation systems, water and electricity installations, and even the fixed furniture pieces. Stick the pieces together on-site, and there you go: instant house. See more of the house's design, below. SEE ALSO: 10 of the most extravagant Airbnbs you can still book for the Super Bowl DON'T FORGET: Follow Business Insider's lifestyle page on Facebook! The different modules, or "Gomos", are all constructed and pre-finished in the factory. 
When pieced together, the modules create a simple, streamlined house of adaptable design. 
The construction can be completed in just three days, including laying the foundation.
