‘The Little
House’ on the parking lot is the story of a house, that uses less energy than
it produces, is built of old shipping containers and can be transported by land
or sea.
But it is not
just a house. It is a factory build product, with endless opportunities for
individual customization, both in terms of climate, culture and style. You
configure your house online and 16. Weeks later you move in.
The prototype is
built in Denmark and the first houses will be built in WUXI, China. They are a
low carbon, resource conscious solution for the fast growing country.
The project has
been developed for worldFLEXhome in collaboration with a wide range of
producers, Danish Technological Institute and technical advisors.
In many ways the
project reflects Arcgency’s work:
Architecture that
is defines by resource consciousness, individual solutions for people and
alterative building methods.
