Configuration 5 - C2C Home
About Loq-kit Configuration 5 - C2C Home:
Loq•kit is a proposed system of mass-produced interchangeable and reusable house parts. With the components, affordable homes are able to be quickly assembled into many configurations – each unique in layout and appearance. Loq•kit house parts use snap-lock connections so that homeowners may adapt their homes to changing needs over time. Loq•kit was created by architect Patrick Freet and dates back to 2001
This configuration of components won second place in the C2C Home international sustainable design competition. The C2C Home competition focused on applying to housing, the innovative concepts outlined in the book Cradle to Cradle – Remaking the Way We Make Things by William McDonough and Michael Braungart.
