Foam & Fabric Architects

Concrete has been named the most destructive material on the planet; responsible for 40% of our total greenhouse emissions. on the other side, 80% Polystyrene is not recycled, ends up in landfills and pollutes our soil and water with micro-plastics. We want to recycle polystyrene to create the construction material of the future. Our new construction material lowers construction cost by 40%, Emissions by 70%, and increase building efficiency by 30%. It is also extremely flexible and allows the construction of complex and beautiful shapes for a fraction of the cost and time of conventional methods. Even 3D printing is no match to our new methods.

We want to replace concrete; the most destructive material on the planet responsible for 40% of our greenhouse emissions and recycle polystyrene; 80% of which is not recycled and ends up in our landfills, food and water. We also want to create beautiful architecture to replace the ugly boxes we live in today.

We innovate for the well-being of everyone. starting with ourselves and our children's future.  our current construction methods are killing the planet and also getting more expensive than any average person can afford. By creating  new intelligent, efficient and beautiful architecture we can save our planet and provide healthier, more efficient and healthier homes for everyone

We efficiently recycle polystyrene and plastics and create a new construction materials and methods to replace concrete and conventional construction methods that are destroying our planet and creating ugly architecture. We provide our technology and solutions to construction companies and also build beautiful architecture for real estate companies

We recycle polystyrene without melting it. this is why our recycling method is new and innovative. We also create innovative uses of our new materials. Complex architectural shapes, efficient homes, floating structures, kinetic structures and self erecting architecture. Our constructions are beautiful, efficient and cost 50% less than similar conventional constructions.

Polystyrene is no being recycled because its recycling is inefficient. Our solution is simple, instead of melting polystyrene into a plastic putty. which consumes energy, takes time and reduces the volume by 90%, we shred the polystyrene and re-compact it into a new product that we use for construction. Polystyrene is an insulating material, it is flexible to shape, it is water resistant, does not rot or rust. when hardened it can last for a hundred years. It is also light weight and creates many new opportunities for construction.

Our technology is not digital. but it solves many challenges related to the circular economy, efficiency, sustainability and green economy. We help get rid of polystyrene and plastics, replace concrete and limit its impact while also creating beautiful architecture. Not just that but our structures are so efficient,we are confident that everyone of them can achieve LEED platinum energy efficiency standard. There is no digital technology than can even get remotely close to what our materials achieve. The best thing is; it is both simple and beautiful. 

We are still in prototyping stage. we are not serving anyone yet. We won a Global Social Venture competition for our "recycled polystyrene refugee shelter" but have not finished piloting due to political reasons.

for the next year, we probably still be serving no one. We will be building our technology and demonstrating its benefits

In 5 years, depending on the funding, we could be serving millions of people in the Nordics and the Middle East and also providing decent shelter for 1 Million refugees and homeless people. 

We want to create a concept structure (A house)  in the next year and verify the efficiency of our recycling model and our materials.

In the next 5 years we hope to become a brand name in beautiful and sustainable architecture around the world and provide decent shelter for a million refugees and homeless people.

The main barrier is financial. We also have regulation challenges related to the construction industry to prove that our materials are safe and efficient. technology challenges are minor but still possible 

We can easily prove that our materials are safe and efficient and fix technology problems. We will also solve the financial requirements by partnering with universities, municipalities industry partners and investors.

We are an experienced team of professionals. Each member has 17 years experience in business and at least an MBA

Alto University- Faculty of design and architecture - Espoo- Finland

GSVC- Berytech- Lebanon

We provide construction services for construction companies, real estate companies and individual home builders

We also franchise our technology to other construction companies

We build shelters for Humanitarian organizations and government organizations

We sell mobile micro-dwelling solutions for various functions

We will first use financial support from our university and government partners to create a pilot project and showcase our technology.

We will then raise money from investors to create the business and start making revenues.

Other sources could be humanitarian organizations and the UN for funding housing projects for refugees and homeless people

Solve can provide us with traction, connections and financial support in addition to idea and business validation

We would like to partner with Universities, Architecture and construction companies, NGOs and humanitarian institutions, Recycling and chemical companies and advisers

We have no AI in our technology
