self-assembled residence by VUILD runs on renewable solar energy at japan's art island
Briefly

VUILD's Nesting Naoshima is an innovative off-grid residence on Naoshima Island that exemplifies self-build construction. This project highlights simplicity in building without compromising energy efficiency and sustainability—powered entirely by renewable solar energy. The structure incorporates lightweight materials that are easy to assemble, utilizing a unique spike frame foundation that allows for rapid construction. This self-build model invites broader participation in housing development while aiming to stimulate the local economy. In promoting labor-saving strategies, the residence maintains high standards for thermal performance, meeting HEAT20 G2 standards.
The project marks an innovative step toward developing a self-build model that simplifies construction without compromising on energy efficiency and sustainability.
The foundation employs a spike frame method, enabling completion within just two days and allowing for quick assembly using lightweight materials.
