Upcycling living space, now in cafe form

Adam Kalkin’s Quik House format has been adapted by Illy Cafe as a temporary installation, the Illy Cafe Push Button House, in NYC’s Time Warner Center for the month of December.  Formed from recycled shipping containers, modified to serve a higher purpose (hence “upcycling”), the one-off installation transforms at a push of a button to a fully-functioning, brilliantly designed cafe space in under 90 seconds.
