The ROOM by ODA
by Harry / April 15, 2009


The ROOM by Office for Design & Architecture is a modular dwelling system intended to be retrofitted into existing spaces. Designed as an adjustable yet custom solution for bedrooms, The ROOM consists of three elements: the Pod, the Media Station and the Satellite. "Made affordable by the use of simple materials and construction methods that can be dressed up or down according to budget. The appearance and arrangement can be adjusted to fit within rooms of all sizes and for users of all ages."

The product began as a custom project for a client who wanted a "room" for a teenager in a loft-like space. As ODA progressed they realized that The Room could be made of modular parts and could be adjusted (made compact or sprawling) for various space requirements which led to it being productized.

This isn't particularly attractive.

I definitely won't want one, but I have to admire the beauty of the design.

I think it is great; simple, beautiful and useful.

It's a desk cubicle turned bedroom. I can appreciate the different arrangments however there are only certain spaces that could benefit from a design like this. I would be afraid of really using this design with all the lacquer finish. It is definitly not cat friendly.
