A sustainable home with zero environmental impact

If you ever dreamed about building up your own home leaving zero impact on the environment, now you get a real deal solution. Danish pioneers, Een til Een company, teamed up with the Danish Ministry of the Environment Fund for Ecological Construction, to  build an affordable, healthy and sustainable home with zero impact on the environment.

So what is the deal? The real breakthrough is made. Recycled agricultural by-products can now be upcycled into valuable building components. No need to use wood materials such as plywood and OSB. Waste turns now into resources. By-products from the agricultural industry -such as tomato stem, soy bean, weat straw, hemp fiber or corn starch- can now be processed into high value building components. In detail the construction is made of a straw board construction, while the roof holds a plant based rubber membrane and the facade a bio based impregnated wood. Energy is gained by solar cells and salt water battery storages.

Instead of building on a typical concrete foundation, for example, the home was built on screw piles. This allows the home to be easily removed at any point, without causing damage to the terrain. This offers a new, efficient and affordable way to build homes in the future. 

In fact, this project offers a future solution to emerging problems such as  the inherent climate challenge due to waste combustion which provokes Co2 emission and global housing crisis.A full functional home solution for the 21 st century modern family needs. Affordable, healthy and sustainable. The 145m2 sized house can be seen as part of the BioTope Ecopark in Middelfart, Denmark, which is an exhibition park and resource centre that’s designed to showcase the latest in sustainable construction technologies.
