“ECObitat” is a prefab home entered in Something Green Challenge and won second place. Brazilian designer Felipe Campolina created the system made of recyclable industrial materials to provide relief housing/shelter during emergencies. The framing was done in steel and it supports walls of OSB plates. The windows are made of tempered glass and the walls and roof are finished with greenery which provides added acoustic and thermal insulation. The ECObitat reuses grey water and uses solar water heating while electricity is generated with wind turbines on the roof.

The modular system is 2.44 m x 3,10 m x 12.20 m, scaled from the standard OSB  plate (oriented strand board) of 1.22 m x 2.44 m, defining areas of flexible multipurpose that can be progressively coupled and adequate for transport. Legs telescope from the base ensuring a good adaptability to different types of topographies. The responsible use of recyclable and industrial materials results in a speedy and prompt delivery of manufacturing space modules.
