By Anne Gibson
A Mercer plastic igloo-house maker has been inspired by China’s biggest house builder.
Charles Bree, managing director of Polybreeze International, wanted to discuss his company’s cheap shelters with Wang Shi, chairman of China Vanke Co which has built 200,000 houses in China.
Polybreeze makes Breezepod houses from medium density polyethylene which sell from $9700 to about $15,000.
Bree said the product fitted with Wang’s interests in eco-friendly houses.
