The design idea
Inspired by the native architecture of southern Iran and the nomadic life in these areas, using native materials and dome shape form due to their optimal thermal performances, a place for living and work has been designed to meet the different needs of users with modern nomadic lifestyle!
The fixed part is made of a light structure (LSF) covered by a type of compressed plastic that is a good insulator for heat and the movable parts are made by a wooden structure coverd by woven straw, which have been used to cover surfaces since the past in IRAN, thanks to its Lightness, suitable shading and air ventilation.
By some changes in cladding materials to provide a protective layer for better moisture and thermal management in cold and rainy weather, this house can be adapted in these climates too.
With only one adult person’s pushing force, the two
moveable boxes are moving on rails which embedded in floor.
