The layout promises spectacular views, with large wraparound windows and open-air rooftop decks. Because the dwellings are modular, the overall size can vary from a
single bedroom home to a sprawling, five bedroom floor plan. The structure as a whole takes on a fluid shape, with curving sides and an organic feel not present in the angular design common to many modular homes. The open sight lines of the living spaces and the height will give inhabitants a wide viewing angle, heightening the sense of being part of the landscape, rather than moving the landscape to fit the desires of the homeowners. Everything about the house is designed to bring modern living in a clean package to the rural countryside.
While the homes currently only exist conceptually. When production begins, the build 'cost for the home will be just under $2 million (U.S.). Once the initial molds are created, the cost will then decrease as production increases. An order of 50 units could cost approximately $700,000 each. The homes will be produced in a factory and will be available for shipment anywhere around the world. Futuristic sky-high neighborhoods could be closer than we ever anticipated.
Striving to enhance all the human senses and to sculpt architecture into living
environments in which it exist, while it retains complete functionality.
Drawing its passion and inspiration from organic forms of nature as well as technologies transferred from other industries." The firm places a high priority on balancing experimentation with actual projects. It is this enterprising creativity and the ability to create functional
real world solutions that have given the firm its leading edge.
Future aims are "to rollout a series of Tree Houses and other residential
projects to develop new ways of approaching residential architecture
by means of new materials and construction methods, We have the same
approach and philosophy for all types of projects ranging in scale
from furniture to towers and master plans of new cities. With these
aspirations, expect to hear a lot more in the future.
These architectural renderings show a plan overview and an elevation sketch. The elevation sketch also diagrams access into and out of the home.
