Designing Closed-Loop Layouts for Small Modules

Mapping a triangle between preparation, use, and recovery moves materials efficiently: bulk pantry to table to washing to storage without detours. In our 24 m² test pod, this cut accidental disposables by half. Sketch your zones, walk them, and tell us which path feels intuitive in your home.

Designing Closed-Loop Layouts for Small Modules

Drop-leaf counters, bolt-together shelving, and standardized hinges keep surfaces active when needed and invisible when not. Repairability is designed in with accessible fasteners and spare parts stored inside leg cavities. Comment with your favorite fix-friendly hardware, and we’ll compile a community toolkit.

Materials That Return to the Cycle

Stick with one material per component whenever possible, joined by screws, clips, and reversible locks. Avoid glues that contaminate recycling streams or block reuse. Tell us which panels you’ve tried, and we’ll share disassembly times and long-term durability results.

A Kitchen Module That Doesn’t Need a Trash Bin

A sealed countertop caddy, a carbon-filter lid, and a balcony tumbler turn organics into soil. Since roughly a quarter to a third of household discards are organic, this swap massively reduces outgoing waste. Share your odor-prevention tricks and favorite starter microbes.

A Kitchen Module That Doesn’t Need a Trash Bin

Wall-mounted rails with labeled glass jars keep staples visible and measurable. Decanting becomes a ritual that prevents duplicates and accidental packaging. Snap a picture of your jar layout, and we’ll feature inventive label systems that withstand daily cooking.

A Kitchen Module That Doesn’t Need a Trash Bin

Concentrates in refillable bottles, compostable sponges, and washable cloths replace a parade of plastic. A small pre-filter on the sink strains particles before greywater reuse. Comment with your best one-bottle cleaning formula and how you track refills in tight quarters.

Energy, Water, and Data Loops in a Modular Home

Plug-Level Awareness That Changes Habits

Smart strips and plug meters reveal hidden loads from chargers and gadgets. We color-code outlets by priority and shut down accessories nightly. Which device surprised you most in your readings? Share a screenshot and your new rule of thumb.

Rain, Greywater, and Modular Storage

Stackable tanks fit under eaves or inside service modules, feeding planters and cleaning tasks. A simple leaf screen and sediment trap keep maintenance light. Tell us your collection area and climate, and we’ll help estimate realistic capture volumes.

A Dashboard Everyone Checks

A tablet by the door shows waste diversion, water saved, and kilowatt-hours avoided, turning goals into a game. Kids swap stickers when the compost hits weekly targets. Comment with the metric that motivates your household most.

Real-Life Wins, Missteps, and Your Next Experiment

We aimed to fit all landfill-bound trash into a single glass jar for a month. Spoiler: we didn’t, but we cut waste by 82%, mostly by tackling snack packaging. What would be your toughest category, and how might a module solve it?
