How Bao Living enhances urban living with more than 150 Smart Adaptable Modules

Bao Living aims to make urban living more affordable and sustainable through innovative construction solutions. The company’s flagship product, SAM (Smart Adaptable Modules), is a modular and circular solution that integrates all necessary utilities – kitchen, bathroom, heating, ventilation, electricity and even beds and desks – into a single, efficient modular unit. This approach saves space and significantly reduces the environmental impact associated with traditional construction methods.

Benjamin Eysermans, CEO and Co-founder at Bao Living said: “We started the business with the goal of making urban housing more affordable and sustainable.”

The main problem faced by the company

High costs, inefficiency and a significant environmental footprint are typical of the construction industry. Traditional methods involve multiple contractors and a lack of coordination, leading to waste and increased emissions.

There’s a lot of work that needs to happen in [the construction] sector... It’s also the most polluting industry.
