Designed by Sauerbruch Hutton
Project Description
I chose this case study to research as I found the use of materiality an interesting concept, along with its environmentally friendly pledge to encourage residents to live with smaller carbon footprint. This precedent is the Universal Design Quartier designed by Sauerbruch Hutton. It was built in 2017 and was the Worlds Largest Timber Modular Structure. The accommodation consists of 371 housing modules called ‘woodies’ which are prefabricated timber built offsite sat on top of one another on a concrete transfer floor called a ‘table’.
Through researching the architects notes and building choices, I was able to create my own versions of their technical drawings which allowed me to understand the structure and building requirements for a multistorey housing project to work realistically. By drawing out each layer that makes up the walls, it has helped improve my tectonic understanding to create my own Modular Housing Project.
