Architectenbureau cepezed

In designing Kick Start, winning entry for Poland, Dutch firm architectenbureau cepezed b.v., understood that the problem of providing housing in growing populations is essentially one of availability.

Availability is defined by land (to build on), usability and, naturally, money. Consequently the firm's design philosophy was to maximise the usability for the available money, creating a building system that can provide a sustainable and modern dwelling space with minimal use of materials.

The building's system is created of fully recyclable components that are prefabricated and can be assembled in a variety of combinations, without complicating the system. Light construction and good insulation combined with energy reutilisation enables minimal use of materials and energy during production and life cycle.
