Fast Sustainable Houses

This Bamboo Frame for Social Housing Can Be Made in One Week

Mexico City Architecture company 'Comunal' created a prototype for fast sustainable houses.

These prefabricated bamboo frames made from sustainable supplies offer residents a secure home in seven days. Social housing is an inexpensive alternative to classic housing, offering those in need a fast, easy and cost-effective place to call home. The modular pre-made bamboo frame forms a 60 square meter residence and can be easily assembled on site without the need for a construction team. With two porch areas attached, these houses allow for indoor and outdoor living. The window shutters and doors are made of the same bamboo as the frame for maximum security.

These fast sustainable houses are looking to change the social living community for the better, allowing safe housing to be available to anyone.
