Archipel Modular Housing

A self-contained accomodation with multiple uses :

• Studio Apartment
• Camping Welness
• Retreat Student
• Housing Hotel
• Emergency Housing

ARCHIPEL raises the question of housing in its fundamentals: position, location, size, equipment, autonomy, and comfort. The project offers to live well with less surface area.

ARCHIPEL offers to create a small living habitat for oneself or for others, in complete autonomy allowing to cook, wash, sleep, heat and therefore to be in the right mode to create, contemplate, rest, or isolate oneself.

Due to its small footprint, the project can be located in the mountains, in the forest, facing the sea, in rural areas or in urban areas.
