The MEFAB Concept was created from an idea and desire to construct a modular A-frame building using a hybrid lightweight steel and insulated panel structure, combining experienced engineering and architectural design skills. The building is designed as an all-electric smart ‘active building’ that generates and stores energy, giving the opportunity for zero energy cost, reduced carbon footprint and reduced infrastructure cost.
Why?
The existing holiday lodge and park homes market appears to be lacking in true innovation, especially in terms of sustainability, energy efficiency and quality of construction. Our idea was to be able to create something different, something unique, that would be manufactured in a quality-controlled factory environment. Designed and manufactured in a similar way to modern electric vehicle production.
Modern consumers are increasingly seeking unique experiences that go beyond the ordinary. There is a growing demand for something different, something with a visual, ethical or quirky edge. In an era of heightened environmental consciousness, ethical considerations play a significant role in traveler’s decision making, seeking out modern, sustainable designs that will set a site apart and offer an unparalleled experience.
Flexible Architecture.
MEFAB stands for Modular Electric Flexible Architecture Building. Offering a choice of configurations from standard components, the MEFAB Flexible Architecture platform means that a building can be designed as a single module or as multiple modules to give a choice of sizes and spaces. This design approach allows us to have a building constructed and ready for use within a short timescale. A building that can be disassembled, extended or adapted as future needs change. A building with a zero-carbon footprint and manufactured with zero to minimal waste. The MEFAB concept means that, in addition to developing our own ‘standard’ range, we can employ our innovative design principles to manufacture energy independent self powered buildings to suit your own design, supplying you with factory built modular accommodation that will save you time, infrastructure cost, and improve return on investment.
Energy Independence.
Being an all-electric building allows the opportunity for self-generated energy consumption, reducing site infrastructure needs and eliminating the need for the usual ‘off grid’ LPG heating from gas boilers, refueling oil tanks for oil boilers, and all other associated costs with flame and flue emission boilers.
A MEFAB space is designed as a ‘zero emission’ building that is healthy, safe and very low cost to run. The building also includes integrated Electric Vehicle charging and energy storage.
The Prototype.
MEFAB have spent years carefully evaluating and developing many design details and now have a full size prototype in construction. Combining traditional and modern methods of design, our working prototype is almost complete and will soon be ready for site evaluation and viewing.
