Common Kosci House / Alan Powell Studio

Common Kosci is a permanent camping structure, an exercise in limiting scale and maximizing useability, recognizing that land is a living room. The dwelling consists of two timber-lined modules, both sized to be transportable, with the essentials to support a growing family and the flexibility for seasonal internal expansion. Due to its location on a joint-ownership family plot with a multi-staged masterplan, the dwelling needed to be transportable so that it may be lifted & trucked to a different part of the site in the future. This necessitated a robustness of materiality & structure and adherence to a simple form that can survive a reconfiguration.
