The Michome project is located on the coast of Isla Holbox, an area known for its beautiful natural surroundings. The design focuses on flexibility and sustainability, creating adaptable spaces that meet different needs of families and encourage connections among residents. With a foldable structure, the design is practical for its environment while providing functional living areas.

Structural Design

The layout spans just over 20 square meters, making efficient use of space. Essential living facilities like public activity areas, kitchens, bathrooms, and bedrooms are all included in this compact space. The arrangement allows for easy movement between areas while promoting a sense of community. Each space is thoughtfully layered and integrated, serving both private and communal purposes.

Configuration Models

Multiple configuration options are available to cater to various family types. Combination One encourages close relationships with a central leisure area that keeps entertainment zones separate to reduce noise and distractions. Combination Two accommodates larger families by providing individual private spaces while maintaining a shared living area. Combination Three offers layout choices for two unrelated families, balancing intimacy with personal privacy. Combination Four resembles a townhouse and allows for individual living quarters at the expense of shared community spaces.

Material Utilization

The selection of materials is both efficient and sustainable. Floating concrete serves as the foundation, allowing the structure to rest on water rather than land, thereby minimizing ecological impact. Steel elements are integrated to ensure the building’s strength and durability. Folding aluminum plates enhance the design's adaptability, making it simple to assemble and adjust according to the needs of its residents.

Final Design Detail

The Michome brings together practical living spaces and opportunities for community interaction. Each configuration supports individual privacy while fostering connections. Set against the backdrop of Isla Holbox's natural beauty, the design offers a living solution that aligns with this coastal environment, creating a place where people can thrive together.
