Modular Housing Concept Design

Overview This modular housing concept investigates flexible, stackable living units that balance spatial efficiency, natural light, and volumetric expression. Inspired by contemporary multi-family typologies, each component can be arranged in various configurations—stacked, offset, or cantilevered—to create diverse façade rhythms and semi-private outdoor spaces.
Design + Strategy
Modular logic: Units are conceived as adaptable volumetric blocks, enabling multiple stacking patterns to suit site orientation or context.
Carved voids: Carefully subtracted areas generate balconies, light wells, and social terraces, breaking the monolithic mass into human-scaled segments.
Material palette: A warm timber aesthetic is emphasized in renderings and the physical model, foregrounding natural texture and a tactile, approachable sensibility.
Integration of light: Movable screens and perforated walls filter sunlight into courtyard spaces, cultivating dappled light and ventilation—like a reinterpretation of vernacular brise-soleil.
Spatial logic: Internally, efficient floorplans prioritize communal zones along façades, while bedrooms and service spaces align towards the quieter interior cores.
Visualization The composite includes both digital renderings and a detailed wood model to explore massing, scale, and daylight performance. Visuals aim to communicate not only form but ambiance—how shadows animate volumes, and how residents might occupy layered indoor-outdoor niches.
Impact & Intent This concept demonstrates a scalable strategy for modular architecture that enables both repetition and spatial richness—an approach suitable for multifamily housing, co-living, or adaptable urban infill.
