The OKO House

The OKO House is a modular pre-fabricated design aimed initially at the European and North American housing market and to be developed for other global locations. It will be constructed from benign materials produced locally to the site of fabrication and perform to very low/'zero' energy standards. Ideally the house should be CO2 neutral.

The house sets out to meet and exceed the performance criteria for standards set-out in the ‘Code for Sustainable Homes' achieving the maximum six star rating, allowing for specific site constraints. It will also meet the minimum criteria for ‘Passivhaus UK' design and have overall low primary energy consumption and CO2 emissions. In addition to this the house will accommodate the requirements of ‘Lifetime Homes' and have a low impact on its site and surroundings.
