Brazilian architect Felipe Campolina’s ECObitat Prefab Modular System is designed to offer easy to assemble green modular housing systems for emergency situations. The steel-frame ECObitat offers relief housing featuring a good sized living area, bedroom and kitchen inside the 2.44m x 3.10m x 12.20m (8ft x 10.2ft x 40ft) dwelling.
With living roof and walls, the ECObitat is also designed to be sustainable with energy supplied via roof-mounted solar panels and a small-scale wind turbine. There is also a water catchment and reuse system and the possibility of growing vertical food gardens on the living walls and roof.
“The responsible use of recyclable and industrial materials results in a speedy and prompt delivery of manufacturing space modules,” explains the architect. “This constructive system deals at the same time with ecological issues, by making spaces environmentally sustainable, and social issues by proposing modules capable to use in emergency and relief housing.”
