Food house

Food house is a project for a cafe or pop-up restaurant, constructed of modular container-like elements. Proposal emphasises the aesthetics of modular construction and allows clear organisation. Each module represents a different functional unit, allowing to simplify the construction process. 5 equal size prefabricated volumes are easy to transport and maintain. The project has a simple structure, though iconic appearance, which is achieved by the lifted roof opening. This feature allows more daylight inside as well as creates airy interior.


Based on the needs of a new client, the project was adapted to a showroom / office function.


Awarded 1st prize. Built in 2018.
