Modularity to ensure a high degree of flexibility

8 m x 14 m

Houses are planned in a grid system that is suitable for standard dimensions in moderate sizes. The dimensioning provides opportunities  for the use of low-emission materials that are healthy and durable, such as solid wood and glulam

Adjustable grid system (7,8x14)​

  • Ensures good daylight conditions

  • Makes room for the technical core and guides in the housing core

  • Enables the use of solid wood and glulam

  • Ensures efficient erection of buildings

Housing

  • Allows for varied housing sizes
