Kodasema Denmark+45-71907813The KODA house by Estonian company Kodasema is a modular housing solution designed to address housing needs through affordable, multifunctional housing. Produced off-site for less resource waste in construction, a unit will be delivered as a whole and can be occupied directly after being connected to utilities (Kodasema, 2021a, b). It is a small living unit, with the smallest, KODA Loft Micro, providing a complete living space on less than 20m2 (Kodasema, 2021c). Designed to offer all amenities of a modern residence, the KODA comes in eight different models and sizes and can be installed on solid ground or on pontoons to float on water (Kodasema, 2021d). It is designed to be multifunctional, so that it can be used as a home, office or commercial rental space, and the individual KODA blocks can be combined and stacked to create, for instance, a multifamily community, senior care, hospitality or retail. Those attributes make the KODA a movable housing asset that can be an attractive option for unused urban space or even flat rooftops, and moved and repurposed with little effort when needs change or when cities need redesign.
