Concept Of MU50 House:
Designed by Teke Architects Office, (MU50 House) The Modular Unit is a small-scale, modular, off-grid structure, designed to be recyclable and adaptable to a wide variety of sites. Through its simplicity, flexibility, and choice of materials, this structure is intended to bring beauty to the users? daily lives; to allow them to incorporate it into their quotidian landscape, and to connect with the surrounding nature reducing at most its carbon footprint. A single module consists of two untreated Larch timber frames and the enclosure between them.

The structural frames and the enclosure define the shell of the project, while its interior core consists of a separately constructed service pod with amenities and storage space. The pod includes the bathroom and kitchen as well as the necessary storage space. Glazing on all sides of the building allows visual transparency and creates a sense of openness and continuity between the interior and the surrounding landscape. The exterior decks, protected at different times of the day by manually operated timber shades, offer a variety of micro-climatic outdoor experiences generated by the sun and wind conditions that change as one moves around the unit.
