Description of the Modularing House by A-cero Architects:
A-cero architecture Studio, directed by Joaquin Torres introduces a modular architecture product in the market, based on the principles of the Industrialized Construction. Applying same standardization procedures to the construction, modularity, technology, quality control and time spaces that are applied to other many fields of human activity. The most evident example being the production of automobiles, with already more than one century of expositions of chain production by Henry Ford.
Benefiting from the same advantages, with production in factory and assembly on development plot, less time and more specialized labour, increase the results as far as quality and price, not comparable with the final product of traditional construction, demanding greater control in the initial phases of design, since absolutely everything must be designed and controlled beforehand, place for improvisation being non existent.
A-cero’s bet for Industrialized Construction being, initially two models of house with two and three bedrooms with an extremely fitted cost and final price will be developed, very special attention is taken care of with the distribution and the inhabitable spaces.
Sign to the previous being, initiation of the construction of two pilot homes with the simultaneous study of several orders.
A-cero will also offer the possibility of having these houses totally decorated and equipped, in the same way you would receive a boat.
As an example, you could own an 82m2 house for 69,000€ or fully decorated and equipped for 85,000€, possible financing via mortgage loans in the same way as if it were a traditional development.
To mention by Joaquin Torres, that this system is not exclusive for residential construction, but that it could also be applied to different typology of construction such as; schools, offices, retirement homes or student residences.
With this challenge A-cero intends to popularize design and constructive quality in architecture, searching for design architecture affordable to anyone not relegated to cultural and economic elite.

Wonderful work. Very inspiring. Spacial,simple and elegant. It is very similair to the stlye of architecture I practice. However, I am still looking for clients who are willing to accept this stlye for their homes. Keep up the good work.

hmmm… Artistically its eye candy. Personally though I feel that this house is a bit impractical (my opinion). Look at the exterior material. That must be awfully hard to keep shiny. Interior is georgous but it feels like a hybrid of boutique stores and museums. It feels like you have to keep it clean and organized at all times.
Not sure this is all that practical, especially if you have kiddies.

Modular architecture makes perfect economic and sustainability sense. Germany has a good history of manufactured kit homes and Australian architects are embracing the idea with lovely results.
But the only thing I would say about this design is that the high maintenance needs and the level of interior finishing required would negate the simplicity of what makes an architecturally designed modular home truly special.

Excellent design sense… very well thought of and executed.

The combination of black and white is good, but considering that the rooms are not too big in size, the furniture (though white) is bulky and makes the spaces look cramped.
Am very keen to know what is the black material used on the external surface?
