a collaborative design between A2M (Belgium), Outline Arkitektur (Norway) with Produktif innovation inside...

Sebastian Moreno-Vacca met Rune Kongshaug in New-York a few years ago and since then started collaboration on innovative design.

Rune is the CEO of Produktif, an innovation and technology company that focuses for many years on design for assembly and disassembly (DFAD), and energy autonomy. Produktif has patented a holistic concept of design and build called Click-Works-Flow® and develop smart connectors to speed up the process of construction and allow faster assembly, disassembly, and reuse.

They will use their innovative and patented C-joints in this Icebox challenge. Rune suggested to illustrate cooperation in design between Belgium and Norway by adding in the design team an innovative Norwegian architect Outline Arkitektur, Margit Klev, who also promotes new ways of sustainable living as she lives herself in a house under a greenhouse.

Ly Hytta has accepted to be part of this IceBox Challenge, as an early adopter of the innovative and passive building concept. He will prefabricate the 2 boxes, build and unbuild it on site.
