MF2 Foldable Breuer Arc Cottage
Mini Modular "Breuer Arc" pays tribute to modernist architect Marcel Breuer, whose mastery of geometric symmetry and structural innovation left a lasting imprint on architectural history. As a Bauhaus pioneer, Breuer championed designs that were both functional and sculptural, seamlessly integrating with nature. His influence profoundly shaped New Canaan, which emerged in the late 1940s as a center for modernist architecture.
During this period, Eliot Noyes built his home in New Canaan in 1947, followed by Landis Gores, Marcel Breuer, Philip Johnson, and John Johansen—a group later known as the “Harvard Five”. Their groundbreaking designs defined New Canaan’s architectural identity, driving its modernist movement forward. Between 1949 and 1973, more than 100 modernist homes were constructed in the area, including Johnson's Glass House, Breuer House I, and Noyes’ Kniffin House. These residences not only shaped the town’s landscape but also established New Canaan as a global destination for architectural enthusiasts.
New Canaan is more than a center for architectural exploration—it is also the hometown of Mini Modular and its founder Linda Hubertus. Walking through the streets of this extraordinary town every day, Linda finds endless inspiration in its architectural brilliance, deepening her passion for design and fueling her vision for Mini Modular. She founded the company with the mission of making exquisite modular prefabricated homes accessible to all, combining efficiency with artistry. Mini Modular "Breuer Arc" embodies this vision, redefining modern living through its perfect symmetry, robust structure, and foldable design, ensuring homes are both functional and visually breathtaking.
Designed to adapt seamlessly to any environment, Mini Modular "Breuer Arc" is ideally suited for placement in forests, beside lakes and waterfalls, or deep in open landscapes—serving as an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), guest house, office space, or yoga/music/art studio.
Across spring, summer, autumn, and winter, whether in snow-covered forests or sun-drenched meadows, this architectural marvel maintains its elegance and versatility, harmonizing effortlessly with its surroundings.
Built with a strong steel frame and featuring fire-resistant siding and wall panels, the home prioritizes safety and durability. Its foldable structure enables rapid setup, with the entire home opening and installing in just 20 minutes, significantly reducing on-site construction. The inclusion of triple-pane Low-E glass provides exceptional insulation, ensuring warmth in winter and cool interiors in summer. Expansive extra-large windows invite abundant natural light, creating an airy, serene ambiance. Inside, each unit is equipped with a modern, high-quality kitchen and bathroom, fully finished and move-in ready, delivering a seamless living experience.
More than just a residence, Mini Modular "Breuer Arc" serves as a bridge between architectural tradition and cutting-edge innovation. It honors Breuer’s modernist philosophy while advancing modular prefabrication and intelligent design. With precision engineering and advanced manufacturing, Mini Modular ensures that timeless architectural beauty is not a distant aspiration but an attainable reality for all.
