The municipality of Saint-Georges-sur-Meuse near Liege joins forces with CIMEDE for scalable, sustainable and economic housing for its citizens.

The municipality of Saint-Georges-sur-Meuse near Liege joins forces with CIMEDE for scalable, sustainable and economic housing for its citizens.

The meeting of an innovative product and a growing need gives rise to a Win-Win Public-Private Partnership.
The Atelier de l’Avenir in partnership with the town of Saint-Georges-sur-Meuse has built two scalable houses on land in the town.

The houses built have high thermal and acoustic performance. By combining a level of thermal insulation to reach “low energy” housing and the production of electricity via an installation of photovoltaic panels, the primary energy requirements are very reduced. By starting a one-bedroom house, a young couple can become a homeowner for the price of rent!

In the specific case of the smallest house in Saint-Georges, a level of thermal insulation K28 is reached.
A monthly payment of around € 900 covers the acquisition and the coverage of heating and electricity needs. And for future enlargements, the bill is also reduced by recovering and moving standardized modules.

After purchasing the land, he can build a small house that meets his real needs. He can quickly occupy his house and avoid paying double rent. Thanks to the performance, the loads will be reduced. This allows the owner (s) to save for possible future extensions.

The elements initially built can be moved and repositioned as needed. While respecting the environment, the CIMEDE system allows rapid access to high-quality, quality housing while preserving the possibilities of developing the building as needed.
One of the goals is to allow new prospective buyers, especially young couples, to own homes that will gradually adapt to their needs at a competitive price while maintaining a level of quality, finish and optimized comfort.
