Off-Site Technology
In Mikoü Architectures’ projects, we develop innovative, industrialized, and low-carbon construction systems by engaging closely with industrial sectors early in the design phase. This collaborative approach fosters a virtuous relationship with the construction industry and enables us to develop technical solutions that are both tailored to each project and adaptable for others. The goal is to blend industrial innovation with traditional craftsmanship and expertise, creating high-quality finished products that can be transported and assembled directly on-site. Furthermore, dialogue with the fine arts and craft sectors is emphasized to incorporate their exceptional skills into the projects, ensuring excellence at every level.

The off-site approach establishes a systemic methodology and an integrated design that considers all collateral dimensions of architecture and construction: material efficiency and frugality, energy management, environmental control, transportation systems, circularity, recycling, and the decarbonization of all building components. Industrialization and prefabrication enable faster, more efficient construction under optimal site conditions, prioritizing dry construction and assembly methods.

By adopting off-site techniques,  carbon impact is addressed throughout the entire process, from factory design to site delivery. This construction method reduces on-site waste by up to 90%, promotes the use of bio-based and geo-sourced materials, supports the circular economy, and encourages the use of recyclable materials.
