Innovative prefabricated housing presents an eco-conscious retreat from city life
-VMD (Vivienda Minima de Descanso) is a newly launched prefabricated housing system
that presents a luxurious alternative for living away from the city while minimizing the
environmental impact of a new build. In a timespan of just 99 days, this one- or two-bedroom
home, made from environmentally responsible materials, can be ready for permanent
immersion in a location of choice, with minimal interference to the landscape. It opens up the
opportunities for people looking to invest in a weekend residence without the construction,
time, hassle and costs associated with building and maintaining an abode.
Ready to order and customize online, -VMD is the brainchild of leading architects Rodrigo
Alegre and Carlos Acosta (founders of renowned Mexico City studio STUDIOROCA, the
design firm responsible for -VMD’s stylish interior furnishing). The idea came from the duo
undertaking a more conscious approach to its general practise in recent years, with a move
toward sustainability and a focus on reducing its ecological footprint.
