System Design Studios-Barcelona Based Modular Home Concept
Some design concepts just speak so well to the times. This is the case with the modular home concepts dreamed up by the people over at System Design Studio. The System Design Studio is based in Barcelona Spain, and is really generating some impressive ideas that are worth a keen look. One the most exciting is their concept for a modular home.
The System Design Studio modular home concept centers around the concept of taking three separate units: bathroom, kitchen and storage, and building a living area around them. Other modules can be attached to this core, thus expanding it. This is how to add such rooms as a bedroom. But what makes the design so potentially interesting is how much thought System Design Studio has given to transportation and space maximization of their modular home design concept. The home’s design to expand from compact module to extended module is truly brilliant.
The compact module compressed the structure down considerably. It can be transported on a railway, and the compact module can fit onto a train. When in extended module form the module unfolds considerably, yielding much more living space. No doubt, this is a great design. Being able to partially fold up the module for transport is a fantastic concept. Moreover, if modular homes become the norm in the future, the idea of compressing the space for transport is extremely attractive. Such functionality could make moving and transporting modules very easy, as modules could be transported via the railways or even as ocean freight. While their home design is only a concept, it is an exciting one, full of tremendous potential.
Not surprisingly, environmental concerns are a major aspect of System Design Studio’s modular design as well. Each unit is designed to incorporate solar panels and uses high-efficiency LED lighting. A system for collecting and using rainwater is also central among the design principles. The overarching concept is for the home to be very self-sufficient and eco-friendly.
Studio Design also creates a wide variety of sleek lamps created from recycled materials which are currently available. These designers have an array of interesting eco-friendly design options on their very high-tech looking website.
