Article source: UAU Collectiv The growing demand for and interest in new forms of living together inspired a Belgian entrepreneurial duo to develop the product Skilpod. A Skilpod is a mobile and modular housing construction that attaches great importance to its energetic properties but that is also always searching for progressive and diverse designs. By means of modular architecture Skilpod searches for a combination of flexibility and energy efficiency. The module is completely built and finished in the Skilpod-studio and subsequently transported and placed on the site. As a result the Skilpod is also moveable to a new location at a later time. The housing constructions are built out of a timber frame structure of CLT, Cross Laminated Timber, and fully isolated with a layer of rock wool insulation. In a Skilpod all techniques can be integrated that are used in a traditional house or office. Application of solar panels, heat pumps, ventilation systems, home automation systems etc. is possible, tailored to the user requirements.  Image Courtesy © Skilpod + UAU Collectiv

Apart from an office or garden room the living or accommodation systems offer interesting possibilities within a particular demand for care. Following this philosophy of care the model #48 Energy PLUS was developed. The goal of this module of 48m² is being leased to single, young starters and elderly persons for whom traditional houses are too big. Alternatively there is also the possibility to place these modules as an extension of an existing house in the garden in order to provide a semi-autonomous unit for non-self-sufficient elderly, disabled young adults,… . In addition to the standard modules, finally, the possibility also exists to opt for custom work.
