How can we build homes with an ultra-low carbon footprint and first-class indoor climate?
Since opening in 2023, Living Places has started a ripple effect across the building industry with an innovative approach to home construction that benefits both people and planet.
Together with our partners EFFEKT and Artelia Denmark, we’ve created an informative and practical book that shares our insights and our experience to build homes with an ultra-low carbon footprint and first-class indoor climate - using standard materials, methods and technologies that are available today.

With increasing concerns around the pressing environmental crisis, there is a growing demand for sustainable construction. The construction industry is undeniably responsible for developing methodologies that accelerate the transition to a more sustainable and decarbonised practice. However, it tends to neglect humans' intrinsic relationship with our environment and the need to produce high-quality spaces with a healthy indoor climate. Living Places is an innovative approach to home construction that benefits both people and the planet.
It is a viable model that thrives on collaboration. The concept’s lessons demonstrate how to construct healthy buildings using readily available materials and technologies. Its scalability and feasibility aspire to influence the housing sector by assessing prototypes and integrating valuable knowledge into the construction industry at large.
This book presents a comprehensive look at Living Places, including the voices of the project’s main partners, the data to be shared, and a description of the process and method of pushing innovation to create change where it is most needed. This book should be seen as a manual with the tools and insights to help start a dialogue on how to create projects that benefit a wide range of agendas
