Proof of Concept

Our prototype hotel room for MiTek’s modular initiative reflects our passionate belief that modular technology should serve architectural design, not supersede it. Creativity and formal expression are still possible within the parameters of factory production; efficiency does not preclude beauty.

Face Value

Our module’s façade features an elegant striped pattern of vertical fins, which provide sunshade as well as vertical interest. Those fins intersect with white slab cap covers to minimize the thick horizontal lines that can be one of the aesthetic liabilities of modular when the boxes are stacked. They also mask the joint from module to module, allowing for unfettered architectural expression.
