Versatile housing

The 2.3m2.3m2.3m grid system approach provides a sustainable, efficient, and cost-effective solution to the housing crisis, and our modular system ensures flexibility in different scales to meet both urban planning expectation and individual preferences.

Nicodesign

M-Nasti

The idea of the project is to create a residential building where people can live and have a green house to production of their own fruit and vegetables. With solar panels, recycled water supply and greenhouses, this design is efficient and sustainable enough to support its inhabitants for long periods of time.

My favorite was the projection-screen, which was hidden in the ceiling of the bedroom. Put it down, I could be watching the movie, lying on the floor the living-room. The more magical was that through the transformation of internal furniture, it could meet a multi-port life demand. It was comparable to a traditional three-bedroom housing-type.

NOMAD

The mobile home consists of two main elements: a stationary unit with an area of 10 sq.m. and a block with wall panels in three sizes. The wall panels are pulled out in three pieces from each of the two sides of the stationary block and having a width of 1 m. in the extended state together with the stationary block, form a house with an area of 36 sq.m.

MATRIOSKHOUSE

This project was born based on a concept, the Matrioska Russian dolls. In the same way that every time a smaller doll emerges from the previous doll, containing at the same time another smaller one, the house presented extends and gathers itself while protecting the occupant like a mother as those dolls do.

SCISSORS House: Nomadic HOMES

EVERY GOOD ARCHITECTURE SHOULD TELLS A STORY. OURS IS STORY OF FORM, FUNCTION AND CULTURE OF A PEOPLE. This gave birth to a User-centric, Eco-Responsive and Culture-Conscious Prototype.

Pocket Home

“In search of lost spaces” Architectural activism against non-places. Home is a concept before it goes to be a shelter for humans. This concept makes borders and defines the metaphysical presence of humans with its environment. In this competition, our team tried to redefine these boundaries and understand how urban life has shifted these borders over time

P-HOUSE

The objective of this architectural design was to provide a cost-effective, sustainable, and space efficient living module for visitors to New York City. The overall layout of the living modules within the P-house, along with the layout of the floors and modules themselves were carefully crafted to meet the area-efficient objective while still being function

Lego housing

We thought of how we can approach the idea of a “pocket home” as literally as possible. What if you could take out the phone from your pocket, download an app, and order yourself a living module? You could even take it apart and assemble much like children’s building blocks.

Flexible Square

During our lives we experience many changes, so it is often necessary that the spaces we use also change. The house is one of those spaces that we usually buy / build once in a lifetime and use it forever, but due to the fact that the family changes over the years, modular houses which are flexible depending on our requirements are very necessary nowadays.
