LIVING LOFT DEVELOPMENT
BUSINESS VISION:


  • Living Loft Inc, (Registered Company #1524699) specialized in Management services, provides Consulting Services for green initiatives to create:-
  • SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS (MINI-VILLAGE) to include School and Residential developments.
  • The SYSTEM is targeted at the needs of a starter family.
  • The SYSTEM is modular and the components can be constructed as a CLUSTER, LOFT or a TOWER.

WHY NOW?


  • The Stern Report, by Sir Nicholas Stern, the World Bank's former chief economist (Building Magazine, 2006 issue 44), says the lack of co-ordination between elements of the industry creates poor quality, energy-inefficient buildings.
  • The report forecasts increased natural disasters.
  • The floods at New Orleans, Galveston and the recent wild fires in Santa Barbara, U.S.A. are examples of such disasters.
  • The North American housing market needs to investigate and initiate alternate methods to wood construction that will include concrete and steel that respond to the above challenges.

TIME FOR INNOVATION
FORTY PERCENT OF TODAYS'S CARBON EMMISSION COME FROM RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS.
The rate of increase in Carbon Dioxide emission released into the atmosphere has increased by 100 PPM and growing. Struck by the fact that nearly all urban centres are producing almost all of carbon dioxide released in atmosphere, the time has come to develop sustainable communities based on:
ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE DESIGN (ERD).
This CONCEPT is based on:
• SUSTAINABILITY • AFFORDIBILTY • FLEXIBLITY
PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION:
L I V I N G L O F T: System is a MODULAR LIVING CONCEPT
In the world of Internet, high energy costs and environmental awareness, Modular living concepts needs to be re-defined. We approach this issue by: -Identifying a Basic Unit: Size varies from 400 to 1200 sf. –The Basic Unit is expanded by adding 12sm(130sf) within 5 years of the purchase. A Two Storey Loft Unit can be vertically expanded to add a Working Loft or Living Loft by the User. In the Living Loft system we strive to involve the end user (home owner) in the design of the individual house. Individuality is achieved through various combinations of interior and exterior materials, equipment, styles and interior designs in an interactive design process with the home owner and the designer using the internet.
