GLOBAL PROBLEM | housing need + food insecurity + climate crisis

[law-gom] swedish; adverb, adjective | “not too much, not too little”

Exploring the innovations of 3D print building technology as means of addressing a global housing crisis, Lagom embraces micro-living as a way of life. The Swedish principles of [law-gom] reject the ideals of consumerism by pursuing sustainable alternatives and balanced living. These principles extend from the home into the community through collaborative productive landscapes, minimalist design, and the thoughtful integration of the private and public realm. In addressing a housing crisis, Lagom seeks to recognize other compounding global crises such as food insecurity and climate change, considering the opportunity for micro-living to confront these intersecting issues and re-imagine a better future.

583 sq. ft. of Solar Photovoltaic Panels Kingspan Solatube Tubular Daylighting

Kitchen Range Roof Ventilation

Kingspan Solatubes offer integrated natural daylight in the foyer, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and workspace. Unlike traditional skylights, these compact light tubes eliminate glare and reduce solar heat gain while still evenly diffusing 99.7% spectral reflectivity light into the space. To increase energy efficiency, internally integrated UV Solar panels collect energy during the day to illuminate LED lights after sundown.

Kingspan QuadCore KS1000RW Roof Panel | R-value 8 The rib seamed metal protected steel insulation roof panels offer air, water, sound and thermal protection all in one. The weathering coat ensures long-lasting finish that is resistant to chipping or rusting over time.
