A compact sculptural pod designed for efficient luxury living
Concept & Structure
The Garlic structure is a modular, spherical micro-dwelling rather than a high-rise building. Its distinctive “garlic” or “pumpkin” geometry is rooted in biomimicry and high-efficiency structural principles, making it ideal for glamping, eco-housing, or specialized pod-based living.
The building takes the form of a prolate spheroid — a vertically stretched sphere optimized for structural and environmental efficiency.
The floor plan follows a centralized living strategy to maximize efficiency and spatial clarity.
Window placement follows a rhythmic, performance-driven pattern rather than panoramic exposure.
| Feature | Design Benefit |
|---|---|
| Spherical Geometry | Maximum internal volume with minimal exterior surface area |
| Elevated Base | Reduced site impact and improved airflow beneath structure |
| Centralized Core | Efficient plumbing layout and lighter perimeter walls |
| Stack Ventilation Crown | Passive cooling and enhanced thermal comfort |
