Build for Life – a new future-focused initiative 

Build for Life represents our views on the future of sustainable buildings and the elements that such buildings should provide, i.e. increased quality of life, daylight, and fresh air. The Build for Life concept promotes healthier living that benefits people and the planet through building design.

Build for Life is a regenerative approach for our future built environment

The Compass model is the foundation of the Build for Life concept and serves as a strategic tool that outlines seven points of relevance to guide the building and development process. These drivers enable collaborators across sectors to follow an easy, open-source framework for developing homes for the future. 

The Build for Life concept

Build for Life is founded on the understanding that the way we build today has an enormous impact on people as well as the planet. The project will showcase a new way of thinking, one that is centered around building a better living environment that benefits both people and the planet.

The concept is ideated and continuously developed by EFFEKT, MOE & VELUX.
