ProtoCABIN proposes a new perception of semi-permanent housing and office solutions. For an end-user there is no difference between permanent or temporary structures. A semi-permanent building needs to be off an equally high aesthetic quality as a permanent building. The protoCABIN offers this high aesthetic quality, combined with an impressive spatial experience.

The protoCABIN is a showcase-project for flexible building with customized prefabricated components. The protoCABIN is specified to the criteria of the end-user, delivered as an package of prefabricated components and assembled in a single day.

Every component has the possibility for the full integration of structural facilities or climatic and other installations when required.

ProtoCABIN can be realized in different materials follwing the same construction principle. An interesting possibility is the application of untreated high-grade (sea-worthy) aluminium. With this material it is possible to re-use and upcycle the raw construction material. The high-grade aluminium maintains its value, financially, as well as materially and is fully recyclable.
