LIVING DROPS presents a modern housing solution designed for a variety of locations, including urban sites, sloped landscapes, and coastal regions. The focus is on affordability, sustainability, and transportability, ensuring both durability and fast construction. The overall design connects practical living spaces with environmental considerations.

Structural Design

The structure features a monolithic design supported by a central column. This central component holds the outer envelope together, providing strength. The arrangement allows for easy placement on solid ground, often requiring little excavation, which simplifies the assembly process. A unique tripod-like base increases adaptability, making it possible to modify the space for added storage beneath the walkway as needed.

Interior Layout

Inside each pod, built-in furniture and plumbing systems are integrated into the walls. This thoughtful arrangement maximizes space and cuts down on construction time, leading to cost savings. Furniture embedded in the walls also enhances stability, helping the pods maintain their integrity during transportation from production to the site.

Sustainability Features

Sustainability plays a major role in the design. Solar panels and a hydroponics system enable the units to function independently from the grid. This capability is especially important in remote areas without access to traditional utilities. Additionally, the outer surfaces of the pods can be used for extra solar energy collection or hydroponic gardening, further supporting the project’s environmental goals.

Water Management

An effective approach to water management is fundamental to the design. The shape of the pods directs rainwater to drip trays, which then channel it into storage tanks for filtration and use. Beneath the main floor, sewage and freshwater tanks are strategically placed, equipped with a filtration system that guarantees clean water supply for residents.

The overall form of each pod is complemented by the use of EPS core panels for insulation, combined with weather-resistant shotcrete. This results in a resilient living unit that not only meets practical needs but also responds to environmental challenges. The careful blend of functionality and design contributes to a practical solution for modern housing needs.
