Architectural Excellence : It is a new generation of mobile eco sustainable unit, designed to maximize the potential of living spaces, that can literally be built anywhere. It is a mixed-use building with built-in flexibility to cater to the changing needs of the client. It is a prefabricated steel structure solution, cost effective, easy to erect and disassemble, extremely flexible and very light and airy. This model is highly customizable thus allowing its residents to decide on the floor plans design, and the facade and floor elements they want to include in their apartment.

Cost Energy Effectiveness : It is a cost-effective, green modular unit, which provides high quality sustainable residential development at an affordable price point. In particular, the modular structure is covered with a roof that integrates a new type of solar panel that can both produce electrical energy and thermal energy to power, heat and cool the house. The purpose of the new design is to not only to create a comfortable and sustainable house, but to reduce long-term running costs for the owner.

Technical Innovation : Design and construction minimize energy consumption by utilizing “Energy Efficient Systems” using recyclable building materials. Off-site prefabrication helps minimize construction waste and ensure an airtight energy performance and thermal efficiency. A high-efficiency HVAC system, advanced thermal solutions and solar shading reduce cooling costs, while large glazed openings let in natural light to minimize reliance on artificial lighting. The unit is built to withstand Typhoon and Earthquakes – using “Resilient Design” strategies: steel frame structure has resistance up to 150 Km/h according to Eurocodes of wind action and to cataclysmic seismic events. The sleek and beautiful design incorporates smart home technology system already installed to control the appliances and the lights e.g. from the smart phone.
