01 · Core
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.

A modular, circular building system — designed to grow with you.
Unit by unit. Start with one.
The system
Choose your module.
Start with a Living Core. Add a Sleeping Pod. Combine units for a family home. The configurator shows you what's possible — and what it costs — before you commit.

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.

The technical unit becomes the most sustainable one. Rainwater, grey water, waterproof envelope — paying for itself in seasons, not decades.

Combine
A Core plus a Pod. Two Pods.
A full home for a family. The configurator shows what fits — and what it costs.
How it works
From one click
to a built home.
1
Browse Configurations
Start from a base unit. See what others have configured. Get a feel for the system before you commit.
2
Configure & Personalize
Choose materials, finishes, and layout in the 3D configurator. Live pricing and carbon footprint update as you decide.
3
Validated for Production
Each configuration is checked against structural and manufacturing constraints — what you design is already buildable.
4
Made Locally
A local producer receives a complete, production-ready package. No rework, no translation gap from drawing to factory.
5
Expand or Relocate
When your life changes, you add a unit. When you move, the system adapts. Designed to grow with you.
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.
PRINCIPLE / 01
Modularity
A small set of compatible units, combined many ways. The system is designed for change — not against it.
PRINCIPLE / 02
Circular economy
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.
PRINCIPLE / 03
Digital twin
Each build is fully simulated before a single component is made. Validate every configuration against real manufacturing constraints — reducing errors and cutting material waste before production begins.
PRINCIPLE / 04
Decentralized production
Sustainability isn't a feature of MHU. It's designed into every decision the system makes — from your first configuration to the final delivery.
−30%
Energy use
Triple-glazed openings, optional solar roof, thermal cladding.
<1%
Material waste
Digital validation before production means materials are cut once, correctly.
100%
Designed for reuse
Every unit designed for disassembly. Modular at every scale.
Pathways
Two ways to engage.
For the people who will live in MHU homes — and the people who will build them.
Pathway A · For 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.
- Co-design with the digital twin
- Access to affordable, sustainable housing
- A home that feels — and is — yours
Pathway B · For builders & producers
Build with a complete brief.
Every order arrives as a production-ready package — validated specs, material quantities, assembly logic. The goal is zero rework and zero ambiguity on the factory floor.
- Material and connection testing
- Precision planning and waste reduction
- Modular documentation for production teams
Roadmap
Where we are. Where this goes.
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 · UNDP-backed
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.
Read the visionModel 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.
Design your first module, or become a local production partner. The platform is in development — and open to early collaborators.
