There is a high demand for very affordable yet comfortable and durable homes in Pakistan. This question, combined with the desire to develop self-sufficient houses / villages, has aroused our interest in participating in this. This resulted in, among other things, the Rual-D 1.0 plus model, intended to be built in areas without infrastructure (such as a new village or small town). The houses are designed to be detached or semi-detached and, if desired, self-sufficient, so without any utility connections. Striking are the large sunroofs (the pent roof and the flat roof), which together consist of a surface area of 168 m² of PV panels and thus form a small own ‘power plant’.

The design further focuses on the principle of a more introverted by-the-sun house with a central living and meeting space, where the closed, introverted character of the design (the desire for privacy) is the answer to the culture and the religion practiced. in the country.

The model has been developed in two different variants. A basic set-up, where the kitchen, sanitary facilities and washing facilities are situated outside the house, i.e. in the garden, and a second variant, where the functions just mentioned are designed indoors. Naturally, the climatic preconditions in the area have been taken into account in the design. This includes, among other things, the high temperatures (during the day and at night), the very high relative humidity, but also the increased chance of flooding (twice a year) or the pest problems (such as termites).
