![Binary Studios suggest that their Small Energy Efficient Dwelling is like a plant: “As the seedpod protects and nourishes the seed in the initial stages of the embryonic plant, the SEED [pod] equivalently recognizes the social contract of architecture to serve those in need by providing high quality affordable dwelling units to the large population that is typically underserved by the design community.”
They continue: “The SEED [pod] provides an alternative form of equity building. The continued drastic rise of construction costs will continue to keep starter homes out of reach for much of the population; a new model is desperately needed. The homebuyer can buy the smallest livable unit, adding to the house when and as necessary and creating instant equity, returning buying power to the consumer. Modeled as low purchase price, low square footage, the SEED [pod] is added to in affordable and manageable increments.”
