Contemporary ecological prefab micro-house
LAND ARK
ZEDfactory
The LandARK concept is designed to be a semi-permanent structure therefore the complex planning of a permanent building is reduced and it allows siting in areas of outstanding natural beauty.
The ethos of 'tread lightly' is key to the design which means major groundworks and grid services were ruled out during the design process. Yet the landARK is a robust year-round solution.
Works well as a home or office. Sleeps up to 8 people as a shorter stay cabin. Is cosy in winter and cool in summer. Is made from healthy natural materials such as FSC timber.
Perches on the land without needing expensive foundations or concrete. Runs off logs in winter or uses the summer sun to provide a hot shower. Is powered from sunlight for most of the year, or mid winter wind. Doesn't need a connection to the drains or the meter, unless you do. Includes water tanks with options to connect to a standpipe. Blends into the landscape with weatherboarding and a sedum roof. Will last many generations if it is loved.
