Bali-based architect Alexis Dornier has developed a concept for prefabricated homes that could easily be taken apart and reassembled in a new location.

Stilt Studios are small homes on stilts, which could be erected in a variety of different places without causing any damage to the landscape.

The design follows the principles of the circular economy, which calls for products and materials to be kept in use as long as possible, for there to be no waste or pollution, and for natural environments to be restored.

Dornier came up with the idea as an alternative to the current situation in Bali, where buildings are often constructed and then demolished shortly after, because sites are often let for short time periods.

The first Stilt Studio to be constructed will be a studio for Dornier and his team. They plan to build it in the midst of woodland, where they can benefit from the shade of surrounding trees.

However, Dornier is keen to scale the project up.

He is developing a series of different typologies and facades, allcustomisable in shape and material, so that the buildings can serve a range of uses.

He also suggests that multiple units could be connected.

The current design is for steel frameworks, but the long-term ambition is for the structures to be built fromcross-laminated timber (CLT), to make them more environmentally friendly.

Other sustainable features includelarge overhangs designed to minimise solar-heat gain, rainwater harvesting, cross ventilation and energy-generating solar panels. It is also envisaged that food could be grown underneath the buildings.
