The system

Choose your module.

Three units. Infinite configurations. One coordinated system. The configurator shows you what's possible — and what it costs — before you commit.

Living Core front view
Unit A · 15 m²

Living Core.

Every home begins here. Open-plan kitchen and living, designed as the core of daily life. This is enough to start — and it's already a home.

Unit B · 10 m²

Sleeping
Pod.

Your life changes. The home changes with it. A pod that connects — with built-in storage and a form that follows how you actually live.

Unit C · 5 m²

The most technical unit becomes the most sustainable one. Rainwater harvesting, greywater routing, waterproof envelope. Infrastructure made human.

Combinations

Combine Units.

A Living Core plus a Sleeping Pod. Two Sleeping Pods. A full home for a family. The configurator shows you what's possible — and what it costs — before you commit to anything.

How it works

From your first choice
to a built home.

The platform is designed to connect what is usually disconnected — your decision, the design, and the production.

1

Choose your module

Browse the three unit types — Living Core, Sleeping Pod, Service Pod — or explore combinations. Each unit is designed as a complete, habitable space from day one.

2

Configure & personalise

Choose your materials, finishes, and layout in the 3D configurator. As you decide, the platform shows you live pricing and your estimated carbon footprint. No architect required to start.

3

Validated before production

Each configuration is checked against real structural and manufacturing constraints before it goes anywhere. What you design is already aligned with how it can be built.

4

Made locally

A local producer receives a complete, production-ready package. The goal: no rework, no translation from drawing to factory floor. Built where you are, by people who know the place.

5

Built to expand

When your life changes, you add a unit. When you move, the system adapts. The home is designed to grow with you — horizontally, vertically, or in a new location entirely.

Principles

How it's built to work differently.

Four principles that shape every part of the system — from how you configure to how the home is made.

01 PRINCIPLE / 01

Modularity

Adaptable

A home designed to grow, move, and adapt. Add a unit when your family grows. Reconfigure when your needs change. The structure is designed to be permanent — the layout doesn't have to be.

02 PRINCIPLE / 02

Circular economy

Sustainable

Built with local, natural, and recycled materials. Every module is designed for disassembly, reuse, and low-waste production cycles. The most sustainable home is one that was never over-built in the first place.

03 PRINCIPLE / 03

Digital Twin

Precision

Each build is designed to be fully simulated before a single component is made. The idea: validate every configuration against real manufacturing constraints — reducing errors and cutting material waste before production begins.

04 PRINCIPLE / 04

Decentralized production

Local

Instead of central factories, MHU is built around a network of local micro-production centers — regional builders, craft cooperatives, community workshops. Your home is made where you live.

Designed for

50%

carbon footprint. Local materials, local production, and digital validation cut footprint from the first cut.

Less carbon. Less waste. More home.

Sustainability isn't a feature of MHU. It's designed into every decision the system makes — from your first configuration to the final delivery.

−50%
Carbon footprint

Target: local materials and local production, with no long-distance shipping. The reduction is structural — designed in, not added on.

−30%
Energy use

Triple-glazed openings, optional solar roof, and thermal cladding — lower operational energy from day one of occupancy.

<1%
Material waste target

Digital validation before production means materials are cut once, correctly. Near-zero waste is the goal the system is built around.

Local materials

Thermally modified ash, larch, and regionally sourced materials — chosen for performance and provenance.

Zero-waste design

Every unit is designed for disassembly and reuse. Modular at every scale — from the building down to the panel.

Renewable energy

Solar roof, rainwater harvesting, and greywater routing are configurable — not costly retrofits.

Pathways

One platform. Two ways in.

Whether you are building a home or building homes, MHU connects you to the same coordinated system.

Partner portal MHU partner portal — production-ready brief
Pathway A · Builders & Producers

Build with a complete brief.

The system is designed so that every order arrives as a complete, production-ready package — validated specs, material quantities, assembly logic. The goal is zero rework and zero ambiguity on the factory floor.

  • Building simulation in the digital twin
  • Material and connection testing
  • Precision planning and waste reduction
  • Modular documentation for production teams
Configurator Configurator — design what you actually need
Pathway B · End users

Design what you actually need.

Configure your home online. See what it costs as you decide. Understand your carbon footprint before you commit. Your home is made locally, assembled simply, and designed to grow with you.

  • Personalised space configuration
  • Co-design with the digital twin
  • Access to affordable, sustainable housing
  • A home that feels — and is — yours
Roadmap

Where we are. Where we are going.

Phase 1 · Now

Digital Twin Prototype

We are developing the digital twin prototype of a modular home — with documented construction logic, production rules, and educational content. Developed in partnership with international development and environmental institutions.

In progress
Phase 2 · Next

Micro-Production Network

Launch the first network of local micro-production centers with regional cooperatives and community organisations. The system leaves the screen and enters the ground.

Planning · 2027
Phase 3 · Long term

Global Open-Source System

MHU becomes a globally licensed, open-source modular building system — adaptable to any climate, culture, and community context. The methodology travels. The homes stay local.

Vision · 2030+
Long-term vision

A global open-source modular building system.

MHU is not a product. It is a methodology — designed to be applied, licensed, and scaled locally, using local materials, skills, and people. The goal is not identical homes everywhere. The goal is the same quality of decision-making, everywhere.

Model designed to be licensed and locally applied in any country.

Adaptable to diverse materials, climates, cultures, and communities.

The system is open, scalable, and fully decentralized.

For partners & grantmakers

Invest in the infrastructure
of housing.

MHU is an early-stage platform addressing a well-documented gap in the construction supply chain. We offer partners and grantmakers access to a validated concept with a clear path from prototype to production — and institutional support already in place.

Start small. Build local.

Unit by unit. Built where you are.
