ENJOY is a generational house that challenges traditional building techniques. It’s meant to grow as you do, across generations with the family in mind.

How do we compliment the past, but also look towards a much needed sustainable future? It all comes back to taking advantage of sunlight. With a design based on universal design principles, ENJOY provides ample space for day-to-day comfort amidst a highly efficient structure.

Unique wall designs allow sunlight to pour through the structure, all while powering it. The roof structure—which appears to float weightlessly above the ENJOY house—meets the sun at optimal efficiency, grabbing as much power as possible. Modular design means easy assembly and transport, so as you move, so does your house. The central core ensures efficient energy use and transportability.

Take the first step towards generations of sustainable living with ENJOY.
