Mobile-Architecture and Design 

We are architectural students who’ve come together to reinvent the way people live their lives. In today’s fast paced world, we have fallen into a continuous loop of pressures and deadlines that leave us stressed and burdened.  We’ve found a way to escape from this stressed life and return to our roots. We believe that by incorporating nature back into our lives, people will find the break they need. 

And that’s how ARK was born.  Our appreciation for low tech architecture has created an affordable home that everyone can enjoy. It’s a cocoon without TV, a silent place to reconnect with and appreciate nature, a cozy home where you can find yourself. 

The philosophy behind ARK is to go back to the basics by proving a living place within nature. With sides that fold open, ARK adjusts to the landscape and becomes an extension of nature. Its panoramic views allow you to enjoy camping without giving up comfort, unlike anything before.

Our furniture is uniquely designed and crafted from the same wood as the walls, floor and ceiling, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere. Simple elegance is something we highly value. 

We’d like to say thanks to our carpenter friends who’ve helped turn our complex dream shelter into a reality, even down the last wooden toilet button. 
ARK’s mobile and zero impact design allows you to change destinations while leaving nature untouched. The minimalist design blends with the landscape letting you enjoy nature by becoming part of it. If you choose to close the shelter from the outside, the natural lights with play an inspiring role in the interior.

ARK is a self-sustaining shelter. By collecting rainwater and using wind power to produce electricity, ARK respects nature by being ecologically friendly and totally independent of outside resources. This is what makes our ARK so unique! Escape the city life of burdens and find yourself in an ARK!
