I had just started a design group with my buddy @cklai to work on the housing design that could contribute to the future development of towns and city. We are both trained graduate architects who aim to make a difference for the future living environment. As of now, we are looking on how we can contribute our idea through Sketchup 3D warehouse plus the help of @utopian-io to increase the publicity of the initiative.
This initiative will be a continuous effort on innovating the housing design that we have now. For this, I also created a Github project link for this specific purpose. Please feel free to critic and comment on anything that could help me to realize this initiative as I have limited knowledge on how to set up Github stuff. Advanced thanks to you all!
The first series of design will be focusing on micro-housing. The work above is my 1st attempt for this design initiative.
Why micro-housing?
The land has become lesser for us to build residential buildings. That is why we see our building are shrinking due to a high cost of land. Besides that, a single person will need around 10m² as a basic space to live, that includes all the daily activities like eating, cooking, sleeping, bathing and etc. So, to make a house affordable to the fresh millennials, it must be designed in a functionally inclusive but affordable manner. Thus, micro-housing could be a solution for that. Most of us want opportunities and that is why the population are flocking to the city. While the city itself faces a land shortage, that is why delivering a solution for the city and fresh millennials are critical.
Here are some examples of micro-housing currently available in the market.
Case Study:
1. Muji's Micro-housing design
2. Sleeping Pods by CPID
3. Prefab house by Casagrande Laboratory
Design Process:
1-Set up a base and the plinth area of 3x9m for the micro-house.
2-Construct a volumetric space according to the plinth and with a height of 3.5m.
3-Make openings for doors and windows.
4-Insert the windows and door to the openings.
5-Facade treatment and roofing for the micro-house to make the form interesting.
Save before upload to the 3D warehouse.
Fill up the details for the model.
And tadaa, done! One design contributed :)
