Design: Modular E-Bike Powered By Hydrogen

StudioMOM developed the LAVO bike, a compact modular transport concept powered by green hydrogen:

  • We designed it as a toolkit for a new emission-free mode of transport.
  • The form language is that of a means of transport. Not of a bicycle.
  • All technical elements can be assembled like Lego blocks.
  • The concept is easily adaptable: from city bike to transport bike for small business use.

Design: ‘Branch House’

The location of this project is in Athena, Florida, In designing this project, we got an idea from a tree branch, so that the house is connected to a vertical structure in the form of a console, like a tree branch growing from a tree trunk.

Vertical connection including stairs and elevators inside the structure, which is located vertically, which acts as a vertical core. As soon as a person enters the house, one is faced with the endless view of nature, which is in front of the entrance door of the house. In fact, one reaches the light (interior space of the house) from the dark space of vertical connection.

The interior includes a bedroom and living room next to the fireplace, a bathroom and Wc , and a small kitchen.
