Tetris House

Now this is something we call a flexible design which I came across while researching for some ideas about adding flexibility to my high tech planned Hotel.

What if all row houses could have 360-degree views and evenly distributed amounts of natural lighting? Dutch design studio Universe Architecture, led by architect Janjaap Ruijssenaars, designed a modular housing prototype that can change configuration by adding housing units and elements such as balconies and shutters that stack like Tetris blocks.

The Tetris House project aims to create maximum flexibility for developers building housing units. Elements can rotate of find their optimal position within specific configurations. Steel modular structure and Meccano-like facade allow the residents to add more space to their living spaces. Thanks to its versatility, the project can be licensed to developers who are looking to give their future residents the power of choice.

This is basically three family living in a same house with each of them having their own Tetris block which they can keep in place of another for or interchange just like that without any hassle.

Simplest yet the modest house design.

It helped me in thinking out of the box. And suggest me to think something puzzly which actually is the centre on which the whole concept relies on.

Like things happening and flexible furniture and furniture moving around slowly according to the situation then later the whole building docking in and out of the central hub. It all followed this tetris house which showed me a building needs not be static or a thing. Just think and you can see a building living.
