re-House Modern, by Damon Leverett

The research project re-House Modern by Damon Leverett is a  prefabricated modular housing  concept made of recycled HDPE plastic that is formed into individual building components. A housing kit is developed either in parts, components or sections. Sections are complete rooms of a home that are arranged in various layouts to develop a unique home. The project seeks to address forms of micro living and is also geared toward addressing disaster zone emergency housing.
