Modular architecture

OCTAFOLD

A modular faceted shelter system — an octagonal frame and folded panels that abstract tent logic into a precise, transportable architecture of cabins, pavilions, and compact living units.

From tent to geometry

OCTAFOLD begins by transforming the logic of a shelter into a precise, buildable geometry — an octagonal footprint and a truncated-pyramid form making a low, stable volume of sloping panels. The octagon is the system's identity, not a one-off shape.

The skeleton

A repeatable frame of rectangular metal tubes — a bottom octagonal ring, a mid ring, a roof ring, and inward-sloping ribs — defines the whole form and receives every panel, window and partition. Structure first, then the shell.

The shell

Off-white folded wall panels, a dark base platform, a blue-tinted panoramic window band and a large transparent skylight close the frame — a sealed object that still reads as a system.

A living system

Inside, a compact plan arranges sleeping, lounge, kitchenette, bathroom and storage within the octagonal geometry — partitions following the system's logic rather than a rectangular grid.
