seed pod_prefabricated mobile living units
in collaboration with binary design
The Seed Pod is a proposition for high quality affordable dwelling units. Designed as alternatives to current low cost housing, the pods are prefabricated energy efficient living systems. Structural insulated panels form the floor, walls and roof, lowering construction time and providing excellent acoustic and thermal insulation. Termed SEED’s they are intended to allow for future growth. The original prototype was installed in the rear yard of an existing single family house in Tucson to be used as a home office/ guest room. We have developed separate units for bathroom/ kitchen and living/ sleeping that can be added as needed to comprise a complete dwelling. This model allows for social, economic and environmental alternatives to residential development.
