Bao Living designs systems that make residential construction more affordable and sustainable.
SAM – the Smart Adaptable Module – is the first product that we conceived and developed. SAM bundles all utilities into one perfectly adaptive module. Heating, electricity, water, ventilation, domotica, it’s all in there. A totally new way to create living spaces. A new way of living.

Newly built living spaces are shrinking.
In Antwerp for example:
2005
102m2
2016
70m2
2030
<60m2
Residential housing is a small part of a hugely energy intensive construction sector…
40%
of total EU energy
expenditure
35%
of total greenhouse gas emissions
As well as being one of the most wasteful…
33%
Of global waste is from construction and demolition
31%
Of total material use goes to construction
Things are about to change
The affordability of living spaces is a crucial factor towards making sure that rapid urbanization is sustainable. Developing novel solutions that drive down the cost of construction will play a significant role in the future of cities.
Challenge
Complex on-site process leading to many unwanted costs due to delays.
High cost of building due to huge inefficiencies in construction processes.
Excessive on-site construction times resulting from outdated processes.
Excessive Waste due to excessive on-site work and poor material choice.
Increasing pressure to go digital, construction sector is behind.
Opportunity
Streamlining on-site operations by maximising off-site construction.
Innovative construction methods such as automated and modular construction.
Reducing the construction time can drastically improve returns.
Optimising material use and waste streams that facilitate effective recycling.
Devise novel processes, products or services that improve efficiency & delivery of construction projects.
