Description
The project theme is the serious threat to life after COVID- 19. Observance of World Health Organization rules such as social distance and unattractive living spaces in urban homes will cause people to live in the nature. On the other hand, experience shows that human interaction with nature, could have devastating effects on the environment. Due to these reasons, architectures must meet this need along with providing the principles of sustainable architecture. This project has tried to store the required natural resources with minimal contact with the earth and be part of the recurring cycle of nature. This Project is a Modular House that uses 4 modules within 66 Sqm. each person with any request can order his functional that he needs. (Two bedrooms, Sauna, working space and etc.) The main module of the project has an arc below obtained by repeating the two modules side by side and can be expanded in different ways. Two alternatives are provided by putting modules together, which provide more flexible spaces for the users. The triangular empty space between the earth and the floor has made it possible to embed water storage and treatment sources. On the other hand, in the cold season, by heating the fireplace and the wood-burning heater of the sauna, the underfloor heating sources can be provided by heating the water. Heating a separate water source for the sauna provides the necessary steam steadily. The spatial organization of the project allows us to take full advantage of the natural landscape and manage the resources available on a small scale. The first alternative is like a bridge over the river, with its private and public spaces embedded on the sides of an empty space. This space can be used with folding furniture while creating natural ventilation for work, relaxation and guests. In addition, the empty space under the building can be used to hold boats, bicycles, etc. The second alternative is formed by a 90-degree rotation of the four main modules, covering the surrounding landscape from four directions. In both alternatives, kitchen, bathroom, and sauna spaces are placed on triangular sources to save on project installation costs. The combination of these modules has created different qualities of space and the employer can have more choices depending on the geography of the place. In other words, the project has a high level of adaptability in different situations and can offer different spaces based on the different tastes of the users in the post-CORONA era. This modular project is industrially produced in the manufactory. Its supporting structure is metal and its final coating is black burnt timber. Each Modul size: 3.3 m (w) * 5 m (L) * 4 m (L)
