The design method to generate the micro-home spaces consists of packing spherical geometries. These are then offset inwards and 3D printable lattices infill the gaps.

The lattices explored here consist of triangular, rectangular and hexagonal grids, infilling equal or variably sized sphere packing Booleans while providing different cell thickness and size gradient options.

The size and arrangement of spaces within the micro-homes are informed by detailed studies of the ergonomics of campervans. Variable rigidity and opacity materials are distributed across the lattices to regulate light, privacy and comfort.

The project proposes the insertion of micro-homes in unused pocket spaces in London in an attempt to alleviate the current housing shortage.

PLA plastic prototype fabricated using a novel extrusion method based on dot-by-dot 3D printing. Similar to metal Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM), plastic is extruded in one lump of material per layer to generate the 3D lattice.

The materials used in the prototypes are generated by synthesising manmade and organic compounds obtained from landfill sites outside London.

The resulting bio-compounds of discarded crustacean animal shells fused with discarded plastics are robotically extruded to generate variable property lattices.
