we're really excited to be working on a new click-raft project which sits parallel to its dune landscape like a small outrigger. The building is designed for off-site fabrication combining steel frames with click-raft cassettes wrapped in translucent polycarbonate to create a wonderful open double height living volume. The upper level contains compact bathroom and bedrooms within the click-raft substructure.
inspired by henry david thoreau's hut at walden pond. Translated as a tool for our time tuned to planet earth. A minimum prototype that adjusts to its environment in the sense that a tree does, ie autonomous energy, info, water+food, integrated structure, environmental systems with louvre skins that respond via sensors to temperature, wind, moisture and light. '..THIS FRAME SO SLIGHTLY CLAD, WAS A SORT OF CRYSTALLISATION AROUND ME..' Thoreau.

Background
How could we dwell on planet earth? What if dwelling was just a minimal enabling tool. A device in-tune with our fragile planet!
click-raft is an economic fabrication architecture – inspired by Thoreau's hut at Walden Pond, the minimalist citroen TPV, and lego. click-leaf architecture is a playful open system which utilizes the qualities of plywood click-leaf’s to form a lattice of structure/networks assembled from standard panels which can be quickly ‘clicked’ together to form floor, wall, and roof click-rafts in different configurations. Structure, cladding, plumbing, energy, water systems, storage and furniture are integrated within the weave of the plywood structure. Alternative configurations respond to a wide variety of different site specific conditions – engaging imagination, and exploration.
