ArchiCAD Helps “Green” Mobile Home Communities

  • Rating12345

Altius Architects + Design is re-inventing the traditional mobile and vacation homes by offering eco-modern alternatives for “green”-minded communities. The Toronto-based firm recently acquired the Sustain Design Studio – creators of the award-winning eco-friendly miniHome vacation cottage – and is now selling the portable prefabs en masse to organizations seeking to build affordable, ecological park communities.

As part of its new business plan, Altius is designing eight new models of the miniHome using Graphisoft’s ArchiCAD to offer a variety of sizes and options suitable for mobile park living. The architects also provide master-plan design services for the entire community, as well as perform simulations using a variety of energy modeling tools to minimize the environmental impact of the dwellings and infrastructure. The miniHome models can be adapted to the extremes of southern, ocean and even arctic climates and can be further optimized by orientation, glazing and shading options to take full advantage of the natural assets of each mobile home community.
