MIMA prefabricated housing system allows to personalize the house according with the preferences of the client with different modulations and finishings, from the inner spaces to the outside. An elegant and simply design, built in very little time.

This house in Alentejo region is one of the modular housing examples which has created MIMA. In particular this house makes use of three and a half modular units which configure a L-shaped house. The result is a 36 sqm house which is integrated within Alentejo's landscape with the use of materials as wood, plaster and white tiles.

Description of the project by MIMA

L-shaped MiMA: a sharp white volume laying amidst Alentejo's beautiful landscapes.

This summer house represents one of the multiple schemes possible to be built from the baseMIMA house with 36 sqm. - and corresponding to the aggregation of 3,5 of these base units.MIMA is indeed a system that promotes the quick conception and production of beautiful houses, respecting a base 1,5 x 1,5 m metric for the space definition and using common prefab base components for each new construction, fastening the production process and empowering a flawless construction quality. MIMA houses can be completely customized in size, spatial organization and materials. This specific house bears a minimal interior - clean lines of oak wood, plaster, white tiles - for the space to be in harmony with Alentejo's wide and flat landscapes.

It has been totally built and assembled in 60 days.
