Designer Christopher Daniel has created a conceptual modular housing solution that is engineered to change and adapt to harsh living environments including arid desert conditions.
“At times, the simplest design with least manipulation from its original form can offer visual amenities and adapted solution to the context,” explains Daniel. “The California Roll prefabricated house takes this methodology to create its morphological adaptation to its environment”
The modular dwelling is a quick to assemble and disassemble cube design created from fiber reinforced plastic and is covered in an energy-efficient material that operates to deflect the sunlight and heat from the structure, while also providing a cool place to enjoy outdoor activities like relaxing, enjoying the view and eating your meals.
The building also features computer controlled glass panels that can be regulated to control the amount of light that enters the dwelling. The extensive glass windows, coupled with skylights, ensure the interior is filled with natural light, but also remains cool due to the architectural innovations Daniel has incorporated into his modular design concept.
