CONCEPT

The Hex House is conceived as a low-cost, off-grid, rapidly deployable, long stay and dignified home which is shipped in pieces and assembled by end users. Three home kits fit inside a typical transport trailer. The hexagonal plan can be configured into various combinations of clusters that enclose shared exterior gardens. Units can be arranged next to one another or can be joined and share walls for enhanced thermal performance. The single 40 m2 unit is a compact two-bedroom home with all the amenities intended for small families. Interior walls are not attached to the ceiling to accommodate customization of layout and provide natural ventilation. The home utilizes passive cooling, solar panels & rainwater harvesting.
