British design and architectural firm dRMM created Naked House as a prototype for a sustainable, affordable, CO2 responsible, prefabricated timber home.

The 3-bedroom cookie-cutter home is designed to be erected anywhere in the world where there is road or sea access, and delivered as a flat pack in a standard container. The container would then form the structure’s base, elevating the house off the ground by the height of the container. The container can also be utilized as a storage unit, garage or boathouse. The nomadic Naked House is designed to be dismantled, repacked into the container, and moved to a new site anytime (you will need a crane).

The house can be manufactured in a hyper-efficient, streamlined process from a cut-out diagram. All the walls and components are numbered elements – including door and window openings – digitally pre-cut from cross-laminated timber panels made from fast growing soft woods. The components of the 3 dimensional jigsaw puzzle are secured by super-long screws. It’s estimated the home can be assembled by four people with the help of a small crane in two days.

dRMM, an innovative London-based studio of architects and designers, was founded by Alex de Rijke, Philip Marsh and Sadie Morgan in 1995.
