This Microhome introduces modular, demountable homes with flexible spaces that can be adapted for various functions. Designed for easy assembly and relocation, similar to shipping containers, these homes can be expanded and upgraded over time to meet changing needs.
Beyond serving as residences, these units can function as offices, shops, rentals, or community hubs, fostering both economic and social activities. They incorporate sustainable features, including a water recycling system that filters and reuses greywater for non-potable purposes, and renewable energy sources such as solar panels and wind turbines to ensure energy self-sufficiency.
To enhance resilience, the homes are designed with flood-resistant structures, including elevated foundations and water-resistant materials, making them suitable for flood-prone areas. They can be configured as stand alone units, arranged in horizontal rows, or stacked vertically, offering a highly adaptable housing solution for diverse urban environments.
The building integrates a rainwater harvesting system within its facade, designed to efficiently collect and direct rainwater. The facade panels are shaped to channel rainwater runoff into a controlled drainage system, which then routes the water into underground collection tanks. This system helps maximize water collection beyond the roof, contributing to sustainable water management in the building.
The solar energy collected is stored and distributed from the rooftop to all units, ensuring a sustainable power supply. Meanwhile, the rainwater harvesting system channels collected water into a storage tank beneath the building, from where it is distributed to all units for various uses.
