Prefabricated

The area of Sloterdijk, west of the city centre of Amsterdam, is undergoing a radical transformation. As a result of the 2008 financial crisis this initially mono-functional office area suffered high rates of vacancy. The lack of housing and public amenities lead to a decay of the environment as a whole. Reacting to the housing shortage crisis, the city of Amsterdam formulated a new zoning plan transforming vacant office buildings into short-stay apartments and allowing for additional 1,500 to 2,000 new dwellings to be built. Sonia Mangiapane The Student Village is built in the direct vicinity of the Sloterdijk Station. It is a modular structure based on a prefabricated student housing unit. The construction method and its low cost me... Mehr

Interesting projects are born in difficult times. This land lot has been waiting in the wings for many years. Located on a steep hill, with large trees, surrounded by pine forests and hiking trails, it inspired interesting projects, but they were constantly delayed due to the potential complexity of the work. 2022 turned out to be a difficult year, and it was at this time that the desire of the owner came together with the capabilities of the DublDom team and their partners to make a bright and unusual project. It became a real challenge for all participants. Sergey Nastavnik Sergey Nastavnik Sergey Nastavnik Complex terrain usually looks unattractive for a person who wants a standard «flat land lot, just like the neig... Mehr

Urban Scale: The Zephyr House project emerged as a response to the contemporary demands of life and architecture, aiming to blend modern needs with elements drawn from historical architecture seamlessly. The goal is to make a substantial impact in curbing carbon footprint and energy consumption in buildings. Caption Caption Addressing this challenge involved the creation of four distinctive houses arranged in a modular pattern. By repeating these patterns, a town comprising sixteen houses was meticulously designed. The implementation process promises to be exceptionally swift and cost-effective, with efficient planning and construction methods. Caption Caption To reduce carbon emissions, the town's design strongly emp... Mehr

This intervention is based on the pre-existence of a building on the plot and, taking partial advantage of its structure and foundations, generates a large platform on which a new, more efficient, representative and functional building rests. The demolition of the upper section of the original building allows for unconstrained growth from the first floor up, generating a reception area as a loggia with a large porticoed area. On this base plinth, five floors are added with peripheral work areas and a central core with a new distribution of services and vertical circulation. On both sides of the core, two courtyards provide additional lighting in work areas. ... Mehr

We had a difficult task - to assemble a large luxury single-family house from the modules produced at the factory.But first, it is important to say what the word "Modular" means to us. This is a house consisting of volumetric modules, in which all the interior decoration, electrics, plumbing, and possibly even furniture are made at the factory. Such a house is assembled in the production, delivered by trucks and installed with a crane in one day on the lot. Another 1-2 weeks are required for the final exterior finish. We have already done projects from 16 to 110 square meters, but this is the first time we have designed such a large serial modular house. Sergey Nastavnik In the project, we combined the environmental friendliness of a... Mehr

Am 15. September 2022 präsentierte das Brette Haus sein brandneues Falthaus in Europa. Das "Rustic 20 XL" wurde in Hollenbek, Deutschland, aufgestellt.Was ist es? Es handelt sich um ein 30 Quadratmeter großes, kleines Holzhaus für die Unterbringung von Gästen. Es wurde im März 2021 in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Brettsperrholzhersteller WIGO Group entwickelt und hergestellt. Bildunterschrift Das Hauptmerkmal dieser Kabine ist ihre kompakte Transportgröße. Die Faltfunktion ermöglicht eine Optimierung der Lieferung auf zwei Ebenen. Drei Module sind mit Scharnieren verbunden und falten sich ineinander. So wird keine Luft transportiert nur mehrere Schichten der Kabine. Dies ist ein entscheidender Vort... Mehr

e-FRAME is based on the very simple idea of an innovative structural node and rods that can be combined together at will to create buildings of varied complexity. The system is assembled with dry construction techniques, thus making it suitable for very quick and effective setup of buildings under different climatic conditions and at different latitudes. We have built an immersive experience to let users explore a simple prefabricated housing unit typology in 1:1 scale. The immersive experience has both a VR and an AR component. The VR experience is accessed via a standalone application for Oculus Rift S and allows users to virtually explore the building as a virtual environment Mehr

The House of Switzerland is a mobile building that serves a diplomatic function representing Switzerland’s professional sporting interests in various locations. Its wooden construction makes a connection between traditional and highly modern timber engineering. The largely standardised construction consisting of 193 elements has a tectonic expression. Four archaic, radially arranged structures connected to each other by metal locks enclose an inner courtyard.  Structurally active red tension belts create associations with stacks of wood or freight. The image of a tied bundle is a key part of the concept: it symbolises Switzerland, made up of different regions, national languages and cantons. The dimensions of the prefabricat... Mehr

T3 ARCHITECTS Team has been invited by Hippo Farm to design Dormitories to welcome “green classes”, students and families who want to learn more about nature, permaculture, horse riding, sustainable construction and all activities which make sense to reconnect with essential: education, team works, share meaningful time with friends and reconnect with the natural environment.   The building must reflect all those ideas to be in line with Hippo Farm concept. T3 decided first to propose a bioclimatic design, playing with sun orientation and studying carefully the wind direction both during dry season (to get the maximum benefits of the natural air flow) but also during rainy season (to protect the façade from water i...

Designed to serve as a catalyst for a sustainable, densely planned residential village, Skylodge is a 5,500-square-foot event center built on a 10,000-acre ski mountain in Utah.  By using modular and prefabricated construction, the design and construction timeline for Skylodge were compressed into an impressive 5-month window. To pull off the quick creation, a series of modules, based on 100-square-foot triangles, were fitted with finishes, mechanical and electrical simultaneously and prepared on-site, resulting in a geometric layout with two rotundas, connected at the core resulting in dramatic mountain views at 8,900 feet elevation. Nearby, a third rotunda features a dining room that seats 80 with a bar and fully equipped kitchen that... Mehr

The vision is to create the learning environment of the future by designing a modern elementary school and preschool that are attractive, secure and accessible for everyone.The Tiunda School is for children from preschool to the 9th grade, and its structure is simple and robust. The brick facades are a link back to the site’s history - the old brickworks. The design of the interior reflects the structure’s simplicity and robustness and gives space for playfulness and inspiration.A shared connecting space on the ground floor combines a bistro, square, main staircase and several shared learning environments. This gives ample space to develop a sense of community and pride in the school. C.F. Møller, in collaboration with Anna Törnqvist, a sch... Mehr
