Belka Celine for Faast

Mellow is a Belgian innovation : modular - autonomous in energy & water - design - sustainable - Circular. Born from a scientific project developed by a think tank specialized in sustainability and innovation in architecture. A home that can be modulated as much as life is flexible : create it like a Lego game of 3x3m pieces. With an extra attention brought to sustainable design. And circular economy : can be redeemed at end of life.

A space for all your lives

Water, energy, location : Mellow invents a space to break free from the past. We wanted to find new ways of managing primary resources. So we designed spaces that are autonomous in water and electricity. Without sacrificing our standard of living, the Mellow is both modern and responsible. Fostering projects on a humain scale, Mellow features light, easily transportable modules that can be set up wherever you wish without needing in-depth changes to the floor or the supporting building’s structure. So if it is removed, the ecological impact over the long term is greatly reduced.

A space adapting to change

Mellow is adapted to the pace of our lives. For each change, you can reinvent your space. Like with LEGO®, you can make it bigger, smaller, adjust the shape to your project. And as ever, the modules feature a contemporary design to optimise the use and quality of the space.

Our Circular economy

Our main aim was to invent an autonomous and responsible living space. Once this had been achieved, to round off our approach we sought to make sure it would be sustainable. So, our modules are developed as part of a circular economy with as much control over the process as possible: once a Mellow is no longer used by its owner, we can buy it back and give it a new lease of life. In this way, renewed materials are reintroduced into the production process, limiting waste to the minimum.
