Microlibrary MoKa (Kayu Modular) was developed with the idea of cost efficiency, prefabrication, to be delivered as flat packed building system on site to be assembled with minimal impact in a short time.
The building modules are based on plywood boards as basic measurement to avoid cutting and waste materials as much as possible.
Several of the modules can be arrayed and arranged to form larger configurations according to functional needs.
By combining two modules one will get an in between space of exact one module size which then can be finished with the same façade and flooring elements.
With that it is possible to create a building configuration with various porosities in form of enclosed spaces or verandas.
It is further intended to offer customizable façade panels and patterns so that each Microlibrary MoKA has a unique appearance or can be differentiated as response to external conditions like building orientation in relation to solar heat gains.
Apart from the bundled posts which are made from four finger joint laminate elements, the whole system was designed with plywood panels as basis to keep the costs low and to be assembled via lap, cross lap, and layered bridle joints.
