Blast(off) from the past. Conceived by Finnish designer Matti Suuronen in 1968 as a "portable" ski chalet, the iconic "Futuro House" pods sprang up around the world, often in the most unexpected of places.
Which brings us to the top of Willis Street in the mid 1970's - where for many years a Wrightcars, formerly Wright Stephenson and Co, car yard sat on the corner of... well i'm not sure tbh. I think it was on the corner of what is now Karo Drive, when Abel Smith st was closed off for the new motorway. But correct me if I'm wrong.
I loved seeing this every time I went past as a child - yes it was 'futuristic' but more importantly showed that not every building had to be in the shape of a box. For anyone interested, there is a website that tracks the remaining pods & their locations.
