ABOUT US
We are a Swiss tech start-up with an innovative approach to make the Real Estate more sustainable by making the buildings fully integrate the circular economy principles and be adaptable and reusable over multiple life-cycles.
What motivates us?
Will the Real Estate assets be safe in the future from
not meeting the needs?
Readapt your RE assets using owned components to meet the demands of your tenants
risking abandonment?
Protect your RE assets by relocating them to more profitable places
getting demolished?
Reuse your components in new developments and cut the costs of the investments
Not sure?
You should consider investing in re-adaptable, reusable and relocatable buildings
What is a re-adaptable building?
Hospitality
Residential
Commercial
A building that can be quickly transformed to adopt new functions and new uses, reusing the majority of the non-structural components at a fraction of the costs and durations
What is a reusable & relocatable building?
A building that has been designed and built for a specific use (e.g. offices, appartments)
What are the advantages?
Future proof
Real Estate assets can be re-adapted to new uses, relocated, and reused in new developments, or the components sold as commodities after the life-cycle ended.
Higher returns
When a Real Estate asset is not profitable/not fitting the needs anymore can be easily dissasembled and reused in new developments, reducing substantially the new CapEx
Sustainable
By reusing existing components into new developments the resource consumption, manufacturing greenhouse gas emissions and waste production are fully avoided
How can we build for reuse?
Using a standardized sustainably manufactured kit of components
Assembled together to create high-quality livable spaces without constraining the column layout and the slab shape
That can be reconfigured over multiple life-cycles for different uses and new needs
How does our structural system work?
