PRODUCTION

EMISSION
Compared to the other food, the production of meat has large environmental impacts, among which, the most severe one is increasing greenhouse gas emissions.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Meat takes much more grain, land and water to fatten an animal to produce a pound of meat than it does to grow the same number of calories in the form of grain that is eaten directly.

How might we...
When we talk about apartment design:

How might we make a step forward to see beyond the housing design itself?
-
How might we design an apartment/ community that provides a holistic living service for a healthier lifestyle?

Material: Sustainability and Circularity
Except for the core that is pouring concrete, other major structural components are all from recyclable material. The main structural frame is from steel and the walls and partitions are prefabricated GFRG panels, which is easy- built, recyclable, easy-maintained, and load-bearing when filled with recycled concrete.

Housing Typology: Flexible Design and Expansion
What a tenant has bought is a flexible space instead of a final housing product. The service first recommends a generic housing layout based on tenant's primary needs for space, the tenant is then welcomed to customize his or her apartment according to preference and future plans by choosing additional modules from the module library. Whether he or she prefer a larger kitchen, bathroom, or bedroom, the service truly respects the personal demands and provides sufficient flexibility for expansion.

Business Model
Compared to the conventional apartment. Hyperliving Service lowers down construction costs and speeds up the construction period by using Glass Fibre Reinforced Gypsum panels, steel, and recycled concrete as the main building material.
