Stacked configuration with internal staircase: two-level modular DS Box structure
For this project, we created a modular DS Box configuration consisting of six 6 × 2.5-meter DS Boxes, stacked over two levels and connected by an internal staircase. This configuration demonstrates how a compact footprint can be translated into a spacious, efficient, and fully internal circulation structure.
Two-story configuration with internal connection
The structure consists of:
- DS Boxes on the ground floor, designed as open and flexibly usable spaces
- DS Boxes on the upper floor, directly connected to the ground floor via an internal staircase
By keeping circulation internal, a single cohesive whole is created, ideal for applications where a logical and protected connection between floors is desired.
Internal staircase as a central circulation element
The internal staircase forms the heart of the layout and provides:
- a direct connection between the two levels
- protection from the elements
- maximum freedom on the exterior of the building
This solution is particularly well-suited for functions where internal flow, comfort, and continuity are important.
Transparent facades and plenty of natural light
All DS Boxes feature large glass sections, which provide:
- abundant natural light on both floors
- an open and airy spatial experience
- a visual connection between inside and outside
Despite the stacking, the structure remains transparent and accessible.
Efficient use of space within a compact footprint
With 6 DS Boxes, a fully-fledged two-story structure is realized without requiring additional floor space. This makes the configuration particularly suitable for:
- temporary buildings
- compact sites
- urban or confined locations
The rectangular DS Box modules ensure a logical and efficient floor plan.
Modular, adaptable, and reusable
As with all DS Box solutions, this configuration is also:
- fully modular
- easily reconfigurable
- expandable with additional DS Boxes
- reusable at other locations
The internal staircase can be modified or relocated depending on the desired layout.
Quick installation without traditional construction
Thanks to the DS Box system, this two-story structure could be quickly installed and made operational without traditional construction methods. This is a significant advantage for projects where speed and flexibility are crucial.
Customization by DS Units
DS Units was also responsible for the entire process in this project: from configuration and engineering to the installation of a ready-to-use DS Box setup with an internal staircase, fully tailored to functionality, safety, and circulation.
Features of this project:
- Modular layout
- 6× DS Box units measuring 6 × 2.5 m
- Two-story structure
- Internal staircase
- Large glass sections
- Compact and efficient use of space
- Temporary, reusable, and flexible
