Sustainer Homes, based out of the Netherlands, is an industry leader when it comes to innovative sustainability. This company has designed a revolutionary system that will allow almost anyone to customize their home according to their personal needs.
Sound too good to be true? It's not! A quick look at the work they've already done shows just how life-changing this innovative architecture is.

With these kinds of statistics, it's surprising that more people aren't making an effort to build sustainably.
As the world is warming up to the idea of living and building in a more sustainable way, companies like Sustainer Homes use the latest technology to make the transition to living with less of an environmental impact easier.
If you're hoping to create our own environmentally friendly home, Sustainer Homes is just what you've been looking for. This company builds offices and homes based off of a wooden module that can be customized to fit your needs.
While the building process focuses on sustainability, the homes themselves are durable and long lasting. What sets Sustainer Homes apart from any other building company is their dedication to supporting the environment, all while meeting their clients' needs without raising their budget.
The CEO of Sustainer Homes firmly believes that traditional methods for building homes should be done away with. In order to build a better future, we must start by changing how we create.
To build their sustainable buildings, Sustainer Homes uses their own unique construction processes:
- Create buildings that store CO2, instead of emitting it.
- Erect buildings that are sustainable without compromising style, affordability, and comfort.
- Build structures that will last for a lifetime.
- In addition to their sustainable concepts, Sustainer Homes begins the building process by choosing Finnish Pine trees for their wood. This wood is what allows their homes to store CO2 and act as the foundation for their sustainable homes.
Then, the wood undergoes lamination, allowing them to cut the wood into whatever shape they choose. These shapes are generated through a design program that allows Sustainer Homes to use as much of the wood as possible. The wood is then cut through a computer-operated milling machine.
These homes certainly sound like the wave of the future, but for now, they are only available for people living in the Netherlands. Similarly, the buildings they create are suited for the Netherlands' climate and designed to comply with their building codes.
However, their venture into sustainable building is something that the rest of the world can learn from. Hopefully, other building companies will look to Sustainer Homes as a model of what the future of construction should be.
