GRAFT’s design for a single-family house and two semi-detached houses combines the aspects of mobility, energy and healthy living with environmentally-friendly construction. The project’s holistic approach encompasses modern architecture, innovative building services and e-mobility as well as sustainability and physical health. The houses even generate a energy surplus that will be used to charge an e-car that the tenant rents with the house.

Every aspect of these intelligent homes is environmentally sustainable, from their design to their construction and operation. The building materials have been selected for sustainability across their entire life cycle and are natural and recyclable: the ceilings, walls and roof are made of wood and earth. These natural materials contribute to a healthy, pleasant indoor atmosphere and are paired with state-of-the-art technology that assures comfortable but environmentally-friendly living. Each building is triple-glazed and thermally-insulated, including the cellars, to prevent thermal bridges.
