Namu, a life enhancing home.
Imagine living in harmony with nature, growing your own food, creating your own energy, and recharging yourself, your family, and our planet all from the comfort of home.
Namu is the world’s first modular, prefabricated and generative home design, combining the most advanced residential systems including renewable energy collection, food and water production, ecologically-sound building materials, and luxurious architectural design that honors the environment.
Built to last and nurture the land it sits on, Namu utilizes steel frame construction, renewable and recycled materials, and is engineered to withstand adverse weather conditions, and is Dark-Sky Approved.
Bringing the outdoors in.
Living in spaces designed with biophilic principles enhances overall quality of life, leading to greater joy and vitality.
Namu is the first modular home that brings the connection to nature inside its walls, incorporating plants in all living spaces to nurture and heal its inhabitants. This creates a calming effect, and lowers cortisol levels and reduces stress by purifying air, absorbing toxins and releasing oxygen, and creating a generally cleaner, healthier indoor environment.
Namu is a journey of self-discovery and transformation, guided by the principle that by giving back to the earth, we can create a brighter, more generative future for all.
A daily does of nature.
The word biophilia embraces the idea that people have an innate tendency to look for connections with nature and other forms of life.
The biophilic design principles applied to Namu make it more than just a home, it is a sanctuary where natural materials, plants and organic forms blend with modern design. Thoughtfully integrated plants purify interior spaces, making them deeply therapeutic, reducing stress and improving overall well-being.

THE GOLDEN RATIO
nurtured by nature
The Fibonacci spiral, or the ‘golden ratio’, is a logarithmic pattern found in nature that symbolizes natural order and balance in the universe and signifies the beauty and efficiency of creation.
Namu, meaning ‘wave’ in Japanese (波), was inspired with this concept in mind, and intentionally incorporates the golden ratio throughout its design. The connection to natural forms in Namu’s architecture creates a timeless design that is both mathematically precise and beautifully organic, creating spaces that feel harmonious, balanced, and connected.
With Namu, the harmony between humanity and the natural world is not just celebrated, it is lived.
