Meridian 105 Architecture 'Weave Housing' is Futuristic

— February 7, 2011 — Eco
Pre-fabricating construction is generally a more economical, eco-friendly, and expedient way to build new housing and Weave Housing by Meridian 105 Architecture is a perfect example of this technology being put to great use.

The proposed project for Denver, Colorado involves extensive use of insulated concrete in order to create a passive eco-design apartment complex wherein individual units could be manufactured off-site and then lifted into place. This innovative approach to building using piece-meal components would greatly increase the building's sustainable footprint while also decreasing the amount of time needed to build the structure.
