arkit: Advanced Dwellings
Beautiful. Functional. Natural. Simple. Flexible.
Natural materials and precision manufacturing combine to create a prefab architectural system to house whatever you need or can imagine.
The arkit is an Advanced Dwelling – it combines the simplicity and speed of prefabricated construction, with the beauty and integrity of an architectural object. Whether it sits on a sand dune, on an urban rooftop, or in a suburban garden, it melds into its context and transforms its environment.
The arkit structural system relies on an integrated panel combining exterior cladding, insulation and interior lining. Each panel is manufactured using Western Red Cedar – a sustainably managed natural resource with exceptional beauty, built-in resistance to harsh environmental conditions, and inherent insulating properties. Each panel and window interlocks to form a rigid wall system.
And, unlike traditional buildings the arkit is economical in terms of cost and construction time – taking a fraction of the normal time to manufacture, deliver and erect.
The arkit is not a rigid system of rooms and modules – its system of flexible panels can be designed to create dwellings of any size or configuration. Of course, cc-ark has a range of designs to suit most situations and budgets, and you can work with our designers to create a unique architectural statement.
Designed by Architect Craig Chatman, and perfected in a series of prototypes, the arkit is ready for deployment as a home, beach shack, artist’s studio, retreat or workspace.
