The ODA ROOM | New York | USA | ODA

The ROOM by Office for Design & Architecture (ODA) is a modular dwelling system intended to be retrofitted into existing spaces. Designed as an adjustable yet custom solution for bedrooms, The ROOM consists of three elements: the Pod, the Media Station and the Satellite. ‘Made affordable by the use of simple materials and construction methods that can be dressed up or down according to budget. The appearance and arrangement can be adjusted to fit within rooms of all sizes and for users of all ages.’

The product began as a custom project for a client who wanted a “room” for a teenager in a loft-like space. As ODA progressed they realized that The Room could be made of modular parts and could be adjusted (made compact or sprawling) for various space requirements which led to it being productized.
