The conceptual 'Refuge HT' by Felipe Campolina is an ultra-modern structure that would enable inhabitants to use the micro-habitat as an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life to ensure they are consistently disconnecting from urban lifestyles.
The triangular design of the unit enables optimal living space to be contained within, while also putting a focus on the surrounding outdoor area by maximizing the exterior seating. The building is integrated with a number of different construction materials and processes, which enables it to be expanded or changed in orientation to suit the needs of any inhabitants.
The conceptual 'Refuge HT' identifies the increasing need for weekend retreats amongst urban consumers as city homes continue to decrease in size and inhabitants require a way to get away.
