ZÔM™’s envelope is Hempcrete

Hempcrete is a mixture of chopped hemp stalk and lime. It is non-toxic, highly mold, pest and fire resistant. It is a durable and sustainable insulation material, which also passively regulates humidity. It is a carbon bank. One acre of hemp absorbs and binds twenty times more carbon than a commensurate forest.

FUTUR is developing relationships with local farmers who have interest in growing industrial hemp, facilitating a local supply and encouraging regenerative agriculture, industry, and design. We hope to have our own industrial hemp processing facility here in the Hudson Valley within the coming years..

ZÔM™’s frame is Wood

To guarantee both a hyper-local supply, as well as the most stringent environmental standards, our lumber comes from two sustainable sources: Trees that we harvest ourselves in the wintertime and trees harvested by local arborists which would normally be used as fire wood or wasted (chipped and sent to landfill producing methane emissions).

This turns a significant waste stream into a sustainable supply. We then process the trees into lumber ourselves. For our clients who wish to build on a wooded lot, where clearing is necessary, those trees would be integrated into their ZÔM™, creating a direct connection to the land.

PASSIVE INTERIOR CLIMATE CONTROL

ZÔM™ primarily heats and cools itself passively, in other words, without mechanical input. Opening the ZÔM™ skylight in the summertime, creates a natural chimney effect. Air flows from the outdoors through a subterranean duct, naturally cooling down to the mean temperature of earth below frost level, 54° F / 12° C. Then the air enters ZÔM™, providing natural air conditioning.

Additionally, the roof overhangs are designed to shade both the interior as well as the exterior walls. This keeps the summer heat out, while allowing as much of the sun’s warmth as possible into the home during winter.

ZÔM™ is super insulated with natural Hempcrete. Its walls and roof are like a thick wool blanket, keeping you comfortable throughout the year. ZÔM™ is nestled into the land. This reduces its exposure to the elements, and further increases its ability to passively maintain year-round comfort. As back-up on particularly cold and dark days, as well as sweltering ones, we use a hyper- efficient heat pump to keep you comfortable.

*Because of the customizable nature of ZÔM, please note the 3D renderings are conceptual suggestions of our design principles. Every ZÔM will be unique and catered to your individual needs.

RENEWABLE ENERGY GENERATION AND STORAGE

ZÔM™ generates more energy than it consumes, in other words it is Energy Positive. It’s roof is it’s power-plant, generating renewable electricity through its solar roof tiles. Its batteries are its backup, storing enough energy to keep everything running smoothly when it's cloudy, or during an outage. FUTUR’s design is one that honors the intelligence of nature. Highlighting a unique architectural philosophy, a ZÔM™ is always in relationship with the land.

Drawing inspiration from nature’s strength and organic wisdom, we designed a ZÔM™ that will endure the changes of today and those to come.

ZÔM™’s foundation is a Helical Steel Pile System.

This type of foundation offers significant benefits compared to poured concrete. The production of cement is responsible for 7% of global carbon emissions, hence concrete is one of the most carbon intensive building materials. A poured concrete foundation is also very labor and cost intensive.

By using helical piles, which can be installed in a day, these costs in terms of time, money and carbon are radically reduced, as well as the overall disturbance to the land without compromising on structural integrity.
