Ecospace living shed

IPT architects delivered a new sustainable architectural system for Ecospace — known for its easy-to-build garden studios — that comprises living units, schools and retreat spaces.

IPT architects designed a new Ecospace, that moves from their traditional garden studio to create sustainable, low-cost compact houses, schools and holiday retreats. The main objective is to lower down carbon emissions, improving the construction techniques.

Tthe structures can be assembled easily: a simple garden office can be up and ready for use within five days.
