Pedestrian co-founder Oscar Martin has teamed up with Australian architect Peter Stutchbury to reconsider the housing industry with planet-friendly, energy-efficient, and recyclable smart homes that are customised at the click of a button. Rich in spirit and aesthetics, Dimensions X seeks to encourage simple living in harmony with nature by integrating solar collection, battery power, low-energy fittings and water collection. Expanding length incrementally by 3000mm, and up to 5800mm in width, Dimensions X offers planning that can adapt to a variety of user and site requirements. This optimal use of space ensures a minimalisation of waste across all aspects of the project. With over 76% of the building’s construction being carbon-negative CLT – OM1 is a step toward the future. Small footprint, small impact, very low maintenance – Dimensions X is proof that a living environment can be both beautiful and economical.
A brief to provide off-grid, sustainable accommodation was easily fulfilled with Dimensions X designed by pre-eminent Australian architect Peter Stutchbury. The prefabricated OM1 portal frame sits lightly with zero concrete or excavation, and costs $0 to run. Powered by the sun, water from the sky and septic from worms, there is no other development that can rival the comfort of minimal impact on the earth. MS1 offers additional space to compose a song, write a book or have a week alone in the mountains. Dimensions X has become so much more than beautiful small project energy architecture.
