Home of 2030: A manufacturing led approach using locally sourced biogenic materials
An approach, not a product
The Positive Collective approach for the Home of 2030 is to design homes for manufacturing and assembly using readily available products and systems from multiple suppliers brought together in a ‘flying factory’, reducing risk in the supply chain, reducing the need for capital investment, and bringing greater efficiency and competition to its delivery.

Getting the ingredients right
Typical configurations for dwelling typologies.
Flexible
The Positive House solutions are integrated with a manufacturing-led approach that allows multiple and flexible supplier options, lower capital investment by avoiding large central factory set ups and more flexibility in procurement than some factory based systems. The design is developed and coordinated in a digital way, allowing suppliers to bring coordinated pre-manufactured elements to a site ‘flying factory’ for final integration and installation.
Towards a restorative circular economy.
Materials
Our unified approach absorbs carbon emissions, promotes low toxicity and highlights the value of future resources. People are increasingly adapting their consumption habits to make their own personal contributions to addressing climate change. Our design approach anticipates and enables this transition. We aim to enhance the entire production process, using biogenic resources to redress environmental failures in our built environment.
Operational & embodied carbon store.
Carbon
The planet has the capacity to recover without human intervention. But for human existence to continue, we need to radically reconsider not just operational carbon emissions but also embodied carbon, resource depletion, and biodiversity loss. Compared with traditional forms of construction today, we aim to move beyond carbon zero and help restore our local environment and biodiversity.
