A BETTER House requires not only a better understanding of the complexity of building a house today, but also a vision for how to revise and rebuild outdated modalities that prevent the housing market from advancing in a smart way.
We believe that the future of the single-family home is one that critically re-assembles, intelligently re-engineers, and strategically re-composes the elements of a house, leveraging industrial thinking and technological innovation.
The premise of the Concept Design presentation is to build upon strategies of modular and prefabrication technologies while fulfilling the need for well-designed architectural spaces. Lessons learned from the preliminary Research phase were critical towards developing the design concepts of a BETTER house.
Most modular and prefabrication projects have operated within the domain of multi-unit housing in dense urban settings: well-vetted and established dimensions and areas for spaces that are repeatable, stackable, and typically identical.
