Onar is a mini-home that accommodates our rapidly changing needs in today's world by re-imagining freedom within familiarity. A home that compensates with tech-enabled innovation for what it lacks in size. How sweet can sweet home be? This project celebrates the idea of small-scale, yet resourceful living.
Easily assembled and disassembled, this home is designed to be mobile and adaptable. It speaks to those who appreciate proximity to city centers, but also love to escape to nature every so often. Lightweight, modular and smart, Onar challenges the definition of home.
The two-level structure is held together by a modular vertical core, that connects the living spaces while serving functional purposes; electrical and plumbing elements (lighting, sockets, kitchen and bathroom sink, toilet, shower installation) and a sleeping bed for two are hosted in there.Much more than a functional volume, this core becomes an essential expansion for each room that itopens up towards to optimize use of space. The modules for the core, slabs, semi-permanent pier foundation are flat-packed in a volume of 2.3 m3.
