Eco Factor: House constructed from sustainable materials.
H3AR Architecture and Design has come up with an Instant House proposal for an international student design competition. The theme being a temporary residential mini unit, the Instant House can be constructed easily and is designed to be made from sustainable materials.
The concept includes concrete cylinders that are made from styrofoam concrete, which improves acoustics and insulation. Moreover, the concrete contains TI02, which reduces air pollution. The designers also believe that by the year 2014, concrete will be made from rice husks, which will even increase its sustainable credentials even more.
