Details
House One redefines the dream of a single-family home. The compact, serially produced timber house of 143 m² combines aesthetics, sustainability, and future viability. Neutral, equally sized rooms and pre-installed connections allow flexible use throughout different stages of life – for example, through partial rental when children move out. Its compact form follows function, reduces energy demand and production costs, and saves the majority of embodied emissions through circular timber construction. House One creates future-proof living aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals – ecological, economical, social, and aesthetic.
