The timber-framed Mobile Catalyst (MOCA) is a self-sufficient mobile home designed by master's students at the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC). It offers a sustainable living solution crafted from locally sourced natural materials. The design aims to meet the contemporary needs of remote working and can also serve as a meeting place, library, or event space.
while responding to the wave of remote working and wanderlust of our time.
At the front of the trailer, the space includes necessary domestic utilities, such as a kitchen, shower area, toilet and utility cabinet for electric and water metabolic systems. The central, flexible, living space is situated towards the rear of the volume.The façade is operable and consists of two layers. Glass doors and a water-resistant cotton fabric can provide options for the amount of privacy needed, and adapt to surrounding weather conditions.
MOCA was designed with the assumption users would be working on laptops and phones - a dominant factor in defining energy consumption. Two beds are situated on a mezzanine floor, with a movable ladder for easy access. In the kitchen, a sink, a single burner stove, fridge, and storage are installed. A shower area and toilet box make up the bathroom. Shower water is collected in a basin, stored and then filtered and reintroduced to the system.
