Morsa Taller designs a six-piece structure assembled in a day
In Buenos Aires, Morsa Taller develops a 7-square-meter mobile office that treats construction like a puzzle of precision, composed of six prefabricated pieces that travel, assemble, and start operating within a day. Parked for now in the courtyard of a private home, the compact work unit is designed to be moved anywhere from a backyard to a rooftop and from a rural site to the next city block. The structure channels the visual DNA of Buenos Aires’ iconic buses through its softly curved roof, which directs rainwater away while giving the silhouette a familiar urban rhythm. Below, the base rests on wheels, making the whole volume nomadic by intent.

The office is composed of four detachable facade panels with strategic openings, the curved roof piece, and the wheeled base. Each component was fabricated in the Buenos Aires-based workshop of Morsa Taller and Santiago Legnini, disassembled for transport, and reassembled on-site using only a screwdriver and a riveter. Because every element needed its own insulation and mechanical junction, the design became an exercise in layered logic, crafted from modules that behave independently yet interlock seamlessly. Inside, every element of carpentry, storage, mechanism, and equipment is custom-built, responding to the internal logic of the inhabitable object rather than any external typology.
