Paving the way to solve rapid urbanisation! The Micro House redefined modern homes to incorporate sustainable building elements.
Taylor's University
In collaboration with Taylor's University for Taylor’s Future Movement Open Day, the inaugural project served as a unique experience for learning the ropes of the issues of rapid urbanization, global challenges, and sustainability. This homey, modern microhouse featured a solar panel system, upcycled decor, a built-in motion sensor using Internet-of-Things computing devices, an edible garden, and even a harvestable rainwater system for watering purposes.
The Micro House created a hands-on learning experience for nearly 50 volunteers as participants go through an intensive workshop for harnessing the sun's power for solar panels and fully building the house. The Micro House project was aimed to tackle United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 11, making cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable. The project was further documented with a local student's "minimum waste lifestyle" in a 7-day experience living in the microhouse, wrapping up their stay with a joyful potluck with friends.
