South African architects, Wolf and Melanie of Wolf and Wolf Architects are creating unique pre-fab homes that demonstrate compact living that maximises space and minimises environmental impact. Their multifunctional work and living spaces employ some very clever solutions e.g. bunks that transform into a seating area. These allow for working, sleeping and cooking spaces as well as a bathroom to fit within a small footprint (3.6m x 6m in this prototype in Onrus).
Eco boxes are constructed mainly out of timber and cellulose. In the future Wolf and Wolf hope to build them out of compressed staw and hemp. There is also an option to go off the grid and install green energy solutions.
