World premiere: the ICE Box Challenge in Oslo wins the Audience Award and receives a special mention at the France Green Solutions Awards 2024-2025!

This unprecedented environmental installation concept was created in 2007. 17 years later, this demonstration of energy efficiency, reuse, and modular, disassemblable design was carried out in Oslo: two tiny houses, one standard, and the other highly efficient and durable, were displayed outdoors for a month in mid-summer, each containing a ton of ice.

Result: 20% of ice remained in the ultra-robust house, compared to… ZERO in the standard house. A tangible proof that sustainable insulation truly makes a difference!

This is science in action. The reclaimed wood for the ultra-robust façade comes from a barn dating back to 1895, while the wood for the standard pavilion comes from a construction site in Oslo at the time of the performance.

This revolutionary project, developed with Produktif, a pioneer in design for assembly/disassembly (DFAD) — a world-first — pushes the boundaries of responsible construction, with an innovative patented concept that extends building lifespan by ten.

The future of construction is here: regenerative, durable, and endlessly reusable.

The jury’s verdict: Highly replicable, the project stood out through its educational goal, i.e. to raise public awareness on sustainable construction, energy efficiency, reuse and circularity. Its bio sourced and recycled materials – as well as its flexible design – were also praised.
