Vision
Our vision is to create a sustainable and affordable housing model that empowers single-living people by forming a community. The intervention aims to be easily constructed and adaptable to different urban scenarios and multiple usage cycles, featuring a close connection between humans and nature.
Feasibility. Economic accessibility
Site optimization by prefabrication, energy efficiency through passive design and optimal compartmentalization of living space – all for a convenient price / quality ratio for the target audience.
Maximum efficiency. Scalability
3 housing unit modules and one greenhouse module can be arranged and prefabricated to suit any context.
Context Integration
Sustainable materials chosen according to the cultural context of each site.
Consumption
Buildings are responsible for 40% of Europe’s energy consumption. Our target: ensuring the optimal conditions of comfort in our prototype during the competition exclusively through passive strategies.
Sustainability
We design a house to the strictest certification standard for sustainable homes in the world. LBC does not propose buildings with as little negative impact as possible, but buildings with as much positive impact as possible on the environment.
