“Vivahouse”是一种预制的模块化住宅系统，该系统可以将空闲的商业地产改造为群体住宅，该系统在伦敦一废弃的购物中心首次亮相。

“Vivahouse”被贴上“未来城市之家”的标签，该系统被安装在伦敦贝斯沃特空荡荡的Whiteleys购物中心，作为一种短期的弹出式设备。

“Vivahouse”品牌希望可以在伦敦推广更多的安装，从而将其苦苦挣扎的商业街利用起来，有统计显示，在2018年，将近1000家零售店被纳入了英国政府，而该公司计划会重新使用废弃的商业单元，包括空置的酒店和办公空间，以建造急需的住宅。

Vivahouse, a prefabricated modular housing system designed to turn vacant commercial properties into co-living environments, has been unveiled at a disused shopping centre in London.
Branded as the "urban house of the future", Vivahouse has been installed as a short-term pop-up in London's empty Whiteleys Shopping Centre in Bayswater.
The brand aims to install the units across London, taking advantage of the UK's struggling high street where in 2018, almost 1,000 retailers went into administration. It said it plans to repurpose unused commercial units, including vacant hospitality and office spaces to create much-needed homes.

这个概念是Rajdeep Gahir的创意，他是WeWork的早期雇员，并在欧洲创立了该公司。Dara Huang是“Design Haus Liberty”工作室的创始人，也是Dezeen奖的评委，她作为Rajdeep Gahir的合作伙伴领导Vivahouse的产品和设计部门。

这种相同的小单元系统可以建立在现有的建筑中，仅在24小时之内，就可以组建出私人的房间。

该公司表示，该预制系统比传统建筑节省了70%的时间和成本。

The concept is the brainchild of Rajdeep Gahir, who was an early employee of WeWork and launched the company in Europe. Dara Huang, who is the founder of Design Haus Liberty and a Dezeen Awards judge, has led the product and design side of Vivahouse as a partner.
The system of small, identical units can be built on site in under 24 hours inside existing buildings to create private rooms with shared facilities.
The company said that the prefabricated system takes 70 per cent less time and costs 70 per cent less than traditional construction.

该系统在设计时考虑到年轻的自由职业者和自营职业者，每一种“Vivahouse”的场所会有不同的最低停留时间，约从一周到一年。

该公司表示，房间的租金取决于地点，但是租期也会影响租金，例如对于长期租住来说，每月600英镑起，而对于短期租住来说，每天50英镑。但是这比短期或中期停留在城市的其他最佳替代方案便宜50%。

这些单元的租金包括所有开销、税款和公共地区的日常清洁。高规格单元内的浴室配备了洗漱用品和电子产品，而储藏室也储备有从牙膏到茶和咖啡等日常必需品。

联合创始人Gahir告诉Dezeen的记者：“‘Vivahouse’系统是一项产品，也是一项经营业务，它将城市内的住房变成一种服务。”

“我们为英国土地的供应不足创造了一种解决方案，从而在快速转换构建时使用快速可伸缩的模型。”

该单元可以建立组成社区，从而消除“自由职业者”的游牧民族式孤独。目前，自由职业者占英国人口的42%以上。

Gahir说：“对于那些将收入的三分之二耗费在房租的千禧一代来说，我们的‘Vivahouses’系统为他们提供了一座空间，他们可以骄傲地将这座空间称为‘家’，他们在这座空间内可以认识新的人，这座空间保持着灵活的条件。该系统的推出将会改变整个租赁规则。”

Designed with young freelancers and the self-employed in mind, each Vivahouse location will have a different minimum duration of stay, which could be anything from one week up to one year.
The company said rent will be location dependent but starts from ￡600 per month in city locations for a longer term stay and from ￡50 per night for a short stay. The company said that this is 50 per cent less expensive than the next best alternative for short or medium term stays in urban cities.
The price of the units is inclusive of all bills, taxes and daily cleaning of communal areas. Bathrooms within the high specification units come equipped with toiletries and electronics while pantries are stocked with daily essentials, from toothpaste to tea and coffee.
"Vivahouse is a product and operational business that is positioned to enable true housing as a service in major urban cities," co-founder Gahir told Dezeen.
"We've created a solution to the UK's low availability of land and shortfall of housing, at a quick turnaround build time with a rapidly scalable model."
The units can be set up to form communities designed to combat loneliness among "the nomad nation of freelancers" who now make up over 42 per cent of the UK's population.
"Our Vivahouses are for millennials who currently spend two thirds of their income on rent, to give them a space they'll be proud to call home, where they can meet new people and stay on a flexible term. We are changing the entire renting game with this launch,"  Gahir  continued.

该单元在英国完成预制，它完全符合住宅建筑法规，其内部包括双人床、储藏室、办公桌和定制照明系统。

工作室的联合创始人兼“Vivahouse”项目创意总监Dara Huang表示：“这些空间不仅可以容纳短期租户，同时也促进了他们之间的社交。”

Huang说：“作为项目的发起方，Vivahouse还会在专用和特别设计的空间内举办瑜伽和冥想课程。除此之外，我们还会在房间外建立共享的活动和游戏区域，包括起居、就餐和工作空间。”

她说：“该项目旨在让‘一代人搬迁’，为他们提供他们在大城市应该得到的住房，并鼓励他们不要孤立地生活。”

Dara Huang还说：“我们想通过Vivahouse项目，实现舒适和成熟的生活方式，摘掉‘学生们的微型生活’这一不好的‘帽子’，这一平台展示了设计是如何在最小的空间中改变感知和舒适度的。”

“Vivahouse”单元项目安装在伦敦贝斯沃特的Whiteleys购物中心中庭，安装期限为一个月，在2018年12月14日结束。该项目与Warrior 中心及 Meyer Bergman合作举办。

该项目希望打破现有的住房市场，从而帮助解决住房危机。今年早些时候，伦敦开发商Cube Haus委托众多获奖建筑师为城市场地设计负担得起的模块化房屋。

Prefabricated in the UK, the units fully comply with residential building regulations and include a double bed, storage, desk and bespoke lighting.
"These spaces will not only accommodate short term renters but will encourage socialising amongst them, too," commented Huang, co-founder and creative lead at Vivahouse.
"As an operator, Vivahouse will hold yoga and mindfulness sessions in dedicated and specially designed meditation spaces. We're also creating shared breakout and games areas outside of the rooms including living, dining and work spaces," said Huang.
"This launch is about encouraging 'Generation Move' to not live in isolation as well as offering them the homes that they deserve in big cities," she continued.
"We wanted to design Vivahouse to promote a comfortable and mature lifestyle to take away the stigma that micro living is focused on just students", continued Dara. "This is really a platform to showcase how design can alter perception and create comfort in even the smallest spaces."
The Vivahouse units are installed within the central atrium of Whiteleys Shopping complex in Bayswater for a month up until 14 December 2018, in partnership with Warrior Capital and Meyer Bergman.
Also hoping to "disrupt" the existing housing market and help resolve the housing crisis, earlier this year London developer Cube Haus commissioned a host of award-winning architects to design affordable modular houses for awkward urban sites.
