Ecomo has created a concept for sustainable, local, and modular houses in South Africa. These homes have been designed on sustainable design principles, incorporating low maintenance materials. They are built off-site in a factory in South Africa to minimize constructions waste and then installed on site. They can be arranged in whatever layout the client desires. The square modular units can be easily joined together in a variety of arrangements to accommodate living, play, or sleeping spaces.
This case study has been created as part of Footprints Africa's work to build a comprehensive open-source database of circular economy initiatives in Africa. We are doing this in collaboration with the African Circular Economy Network (ACEN), as part of our programme to support the circular economy transition in Africa.
