Design a tree – Celloo

Our product Celloo originated from an idea of guaranteeing the future. Seventy per cent of the worlds energy demand disappears through cooling and heating our homes. Two-third of the worlds households could have air conditioning by 2050, however the world would have to increase its energy production by the same amount as the US, Japan and Europe currently produce in total.

To counteract this problem, we decided to develop a sustainable and efficient building material which consists of a plug-in system of bamboo and cellulose panels. The material has air filled spacing to maximize the insulating effect as well as gypsum fiber panels that can later be plastered and painted. Given that bamboo is known as the fastest growing and most sustainable kind of wood we used it as skeleton of our building material. Cellulose as well as a small air-filled layer in between the bamboo structure effect high insulation. For the interior, we added gypsum fiber panels that are fire and waterproof. Due to its mixture of cellulose fibers and gypsum this material is characterized to its high stability. Pipes for cables can also be laid in the walls. Here we have chosen conventional pipes with a diameter of 50 mm. These are installed in the traditional, rectangular shape, where one rectangle ranges over two walls.

Taken as a whole, Celloo is light and easy to build with, meaning that house building is faster than ever. It is best used in the northern part of the equator and as with conventional construction materials, also European standards are adhered to.
