Proto Habitat
a three days fully dismountable
timber construction pavilion
How to invent and develop new forms of housing that could reflect our contemporary lifestyles where frontier between life and work, private and public spheres are blurred by extreme mobility and flexibility. How to create affordable places to live, work, create, play while developing sustainable building and vibrant places for the existing surrounding community and its new users ?
Following a one-year research at Villa Medici - French Academy in Rome this research aims to develop the basis for a new collective living embedded in economical and constructive realities, exploring models which question ownership while promoting new social contracts between inhabitants.
Proto Habitat is a 1.1 prototype which works as a live experimentation project developed alongside a one-year research at French Academy in Rome - Villa Medici about new forms of housing. It’s a 100% local timber prefabricated construction, fully dismountable within few days.
It is a 60 sqm unit offering flexible space suitable for living and working, designed following criteria of privacy and intimacy rather that functions. The 60 sqm based-unit is expandable to different size depending of the urban and rural context, from individual housing to collective and vibrant buildings.
