Reimagining prefabricated housing for accessibility, comfort and premier design with Cabin | Stack | Prefab
Batulao, Philippines
Cabin | Stack | Prefab is a prefabricated home design system composed of stacked and interlocking cabins. Leveraging our long experience of pioneering high-performance enclosure design with well-crafted residential design, our studio has developed a kit-of-parts for more efficient and affordable home assemblies that are both flexible and enduring.
Cabin | Stack | Prefab designs include both 2-story and 3-story options, composed of high-performance exterior modular panels. The panels are expressively sophisticated and come in a variety of materials and colors, including vision glass with integrated louvers, insulated wood and metal.
While standard opaque panels and fenestration layouts exist, including factory-made glass corners, many of the panels can be reconfigured before construction. This facilitates a tailor-to-fit capability to better match each homeowner’s particular lifestyle and each unique site with a tunable building envelope of distinction as well as optimized performance, day-lighting, shading and views.
"One of architecture’s most pressing issues is to balance social equity with environmental sustainability. Cabin | Stack | Prefab offers a strategy to help achieve this critical goal with more affordable living on a smaller footprint."
The prefabrication system ranges from interchangeable parts to interlocking and stacking cabins aimed to elevate the quality of living while also lowering costs and increasing sustainability through greater resource management.
