The ÁPH80 Transportable House, designed and manufactured by the Spanish firm Ábaton Arquitectura, is a prefabricated micro-dwelling designed for two people and can be delivered anywhere by road. The project, launched in 2013, explores a flexible, minimalist, and sustainable approach to living. Although it is no longer in production, the ÁPH80 is a notable exploration into transportable micro-architecture. Design and architectural features Dimensions: The unit measures 27 square meters (9 x 3 meters). Layout: The compact interior is intelligently arranged to maximize the sense of space, without hallways or wasted areas. The gabled roof provides an interior height of up to 3.5 meters. It contains three distinct spaces: A central living room/kitchen. A double bedroom at one end. A full bathroom with a shower at the other end. Large openings: The house features large front openings with sliding glass doors to connect the interior with the surrounding landscape. The exterior is clad in grey cement-wood board panels, which give it a minimalist, sculptural, and monolithic appearance. These panels can also function as hinged shutters, allowing the home to be completely closed off for privacy and security. The interior is paneled with sustainably sourced Spanish fir, stained white to enhance the feeling of light and spaciousness. Construction and sustainability The ÁPH80 is a low-cost, prefabricated solution. It was manufactured using a solid timber frame with numerical control, which allowed for precise, off-site construction. The finished home was transported by truck and could be assembled on-site in a single day, minimizing disruption to the landscape. Materials: Ábaton selected recycled and recyclable materials for construction. Exterior: Grey cement-wood board cladding. Structure: Solid timber. Interior: Whitened Spanish fir. Insulation: The structure includes a ventilated facade with 12 cm of thermal insulation.
