vivihouse is an innovative building system for the construction of
multi-storey buildings for mixed use. It is based on a modular
timber skeleton construction, which is specially optimised for the use
of ecological materials: such as straw bales as insulation, timber
frames or lime and clay plasters.
because healthy living and working affects us all
because low energy consumption is ecological and reduces costs
because grandchildren will only be happy in a healthy ecosystem
vivihouse is durable and adaptable
vivihouse can be adapted to different properties, uses, numbers of
floors and tastes and can even be dismantled, transported and
reassembled at another location.
because nobody knows how we will live in fifty years
because it is sustainable to be able to react to the unpredictable
future in a way that safes resources
because the circular economy sets new standards
vivihouse means participation
Everyone can build vivihouse building elements in a do it yourselfmanner.
Depending on our needs and abilities, vivihouse is suitable for
supervised building workshops with beginners, for classic carpentry or
computer-aided production in FabLabs. A cooperation platform
enables planners to further develop the building system in the long
term.
because it helps to shape one's own living environment
because doing something together with others is a fertile
symbiosis for professionals and laymen
because the advantages of DIY, traditional crafts, digital
production and open source lie in their combination
