This quaint abode actually has a very special purpose: *The Palette House is an inexpensive, efficient and easily realizable solution to the problem of housing people [who have been] displaced by natural disaster, plagues, famine, political and economic strife or war.* In fact, according to [i-Beam Design](http://i-beamdesign.com/projects/refugee/refugee.html), the creator of The Palette House, it can be created for **as low as $500** ! In times of great need, that’s a huge relief.
