SET Prefab Habitable Modules by SET Ideas

SET Prefab Habitable Modules by SET Ideas

SET Ideas unveils an elevated collection of sleek and versatile prefabs characterized by floor-to-ceiling windows and wood interiors.

Three years ago, a small team of architects in Villa Allende, Argentina, came together on a mission to create a simpler, more eco-friendly way of building spaces. Soon after, the group launched their firm, SET Ideas, and began to stretch the limits of prefab design.



A look at the off-site construction of the SET prefab modules.

Tapping into their shared experience, the team identified the pain points of traditional construction-from long build times and tedious processes to the cost of labor and materials. "We saw an opportunity to optimize the way architecture is conceived," says architect Pedro Ruiz Funes of SET Ideas.

The team then created Modular Vida, which is a set of modular prefab units with options that accommodate various sizes and layouts. "Each structure is formed from an established base, but the design is flexible and can be personalized according to clients’ preferences," says Funes. "Thanks to this simplified building process, the units are more efficient, practical, and can be created in less time."



"‘Everything simpler’ is our motto and main premise for every design decision," explains Funes. SET Ideas utilizes the same materials, finishes, measurements, and technical details for each module. However, the prefabs can be be customized according to various client requests.

"We have already installed more than twelve modules with various functions-from country houses, offices, and studios to bedrooms and barbecue facilities," explains the architect. "Overall, we’ve found the process is much easier and less stressful for our clients, as well as for ourselves as architects and builders." Keep scrolling to see some of the available prefab modules by SET Ideas.

Mod_Tiny


Designed to be used as a studio apartment, the Mod_Tiny offers an ideal solution for those who seek a smaller, more efficient living space. Each unit measures approximately 10 feet by 30 feet and includes a bathroom and kitchen. There’s also a partially separated area for a bed.



This Mod_Tiny prefab was customized to include an overhang, which expands the unit’s gathering spaces to the outdoors.

Mod_Studio


The Mod_Studio offers a sleek, light-filled option for a backyard office. The 10-by-13-foot unit can be customized to suit a variety of work-from-home necessities, and the layout includes a fully equipped kitchenette-plus large sliding glass doors that welcome natural light into the interior.

Mod_Weekend


With slightly more interior space than its counterparts offer, the Mod_Weekend can take shape as a detached pool house, yoga studio, or bonus gathering area. (The prefab can also be used as a backyard office.) The versatile 13-by-26-foot unit comes with a small kitchen and bathroom, and it also features expansive sliding glass doors along its exterior.
