Meet SAM:
our all-in-one modular core
SAM (Smart Adaptable Module) is Bao Living's flagship product: a prefabricated modular system that integrates your kitchen, bathroom, storage, electricity, heating, and ventilation into a single design.
Maximize your floor plan
Why sacrifice valuable square footage to technical rooms and scattered installations? With SAM, you centralize the kitchen, bathroom, and all HVAC systems into one compact core.
As shown in the visual on the right, we transform "lost space" into usable living area. The result? Up to 25% extra livable surface! That’s not just building smarter, it’s significantly increasing your project's ROI.

As seen in
From design to lifetime maintenance
Our integrated approach guarantees speed, efficiency, and peace of mind. By combining proprietary software with off-site manufacturing, we deliver projects up to 3 months faster.
1. Technical Strategy & Shaft Design
We engineer your building’s "central nervous system". From EPB studies to technical shaft design, we ensure a seamless connection between main utilities and individual units.
2. Design
Create your ideal SAM in just a few minutes via our digital design studio, based on one of our fixed models. Prefer a fully personalized design? This can be done via our SketchUp configurator or with a custom design developed by our team.
3. Production
Production takes an average of 13 weeks and takes place entirely offsite. Thanks to our standardized process, we reduce errors, increase quality and keep the timeline tightly under control. You receive interim updates as well as a go/no-go signal for the final production.
4. Installation
Installing a SAM takes 1 to 3 days per unit, with minimal site disruption. We handle the full coordination and quality control, but if desired, the system can also be installed by your own team. This way, you choose what best fits your project approach.

“It was a great collaboration with Bao Living, their design vision and eye for detail really took the project to the next level. The result? Within two hours, all SAM apartments were already rented out after the first viewing.”
