The prototype of the No Footprint House (NFH) is based on a systemic component design for prefabricated residential typologies. The NFH can be configured according to personal needs and site-specific requirements, including off-grid locations. The project is designed to blend with its natural surroundings and minimize the impact of construction on the environment. It offers a wide range of adjustable, affordable and replicable solutions to cater for a broad customer segment. The NFH seeks for integral sustainability in terms of its environmental, economic, social and spatial performance.
