OFF-GRID HABITAT 01"

THE ONGOING PANDEMIC IN 2023 HAS CAUSED A SHIFT IN PEOPLE'S PRIORITIES AND LIFESTYLE CHOICES. WITH THE NEED FOR SOCIAL DISTANCING AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY, THERE IS A GROWING TREND TOWARDS DESIGNING OFF-GRID HOMES. THESE HOMES ARE NOT CONNECTED TO PUBLIC UTILITIES AND CAN BE SELF-SUFFICIENT IN TERMS OF ENERGY, WATER, AND WASTE MANAGEMENT. DESIGNERS ARE TO EXPLORE NON-CONVENTIONAL ROOMS AND INNOVATIVE LAYOUTS THAT MAXIMIZE THE USE OF AVAILABLE SPACE WHILE KEEPING LIVABILITY ASPECT IN MIND. OFF-GRID HOMES ARE OFTEN DESIGNED TO BE DEPLOYABLE, ALLOWING THEM TO BE EASILY TRANSPORTED FROM ONE LOCATION TO ANOTHER. FOR INSTANCE, A HOME BUILT IN MALAYSIA COULD BE DEPLOYED TO ANOTHER LOCATION IN RESPONSE TO CHANGING CIRCUMSTANCES SUCH AS A PANDEMIC OR NATURAL DISASTER.
