The first house on these pages is designed by Carl Voorhaar Architect of CAVD in Hengelo The Netherlands.

The second house is designed by Anneloes de Koning and me.

The third house is made with the commercially available system AXALL.

We show you how these houses are erected by adding elements. All these elements work with the sort of technology we have described. The first two houses are designed for contests and were never build. The AXALL system has been proven in practice
