Responsive architecture is a vision of a future where the built environment is as customizable as a streaming music podcast, based on simple, intelligent architectural objects. The natural world is in a constant state of flux; combinations of moisture, breeze and temperature change continuously.
When we are inside our buildings, however, our environment loses its dynamism, and we’re forced to constantly tweak the conditions to achieve optimal comfort. Responsive architecture uses intelligent objects to mirror the processes of the natural world, creating environments and “microclimates” that are suited to individuals or small groups based on the heat signature of their bodies.
Today the team at Butlr uses small, low-cost sensors to track the motions and body heat of Each person has a biometric heat signature as unique as a fingerprint. The Butlr sensors recognize an individual’s heat signature, and can modify room temperature and lighting for ideal comfort.
Unlike cameras that track and record faces, the Butlr system relies on a heat signature, which is unique, but cannot be used to trace your identity. Starting from home applications, the future vision for responsive architecture is to empower cities with networks of heat sensors that can make cities responsive, predicting and responding to vehicle flows, pedestrian density, and weather conditions on the fly.

Space2 Cabins
Crunchbase | Website | Twitter | Facebook | Linkedin
Our goal is to design, manufacture and sell high-performance self-sufficient homes at an affordable price. To offer homes that have a zero cost of ownership over 25 years.
We have intentionally departed from the traditional building industry model by both focusing on scalable off-site mass production and direct procurement of materials. In order to achieve our goal of building family homes, we intend to initially manufacture and sell small cabins using the same building system.
This size of construction allows us to test our building systems and supply chain model at a small scale. The introduction of our first cabins will combine the option of full off grid services and feature twice the building code requirements for thermal efficiency, an appealing minimalist design and a competitive build cost compared to traditional building.
We operate in a different manner and structure than traditional building companies to pursue what we believe to be an opportunity in the sector to successfully commercialize self-sufficient thermally superior homes without compromising on styling and affordability. In addition to designing and manufacturing our cabins, we sell them through our website in a similar way you can buy a computer or a phone.
We believe our approach will enable us to operate more cost effectively and provide a better experience for our customers. The Space2 Cabins, our introductory range of cabins, showcases our incorporation of practical energy efficiency and modern design.
The simplistic raw design enables us to reduce the need for several sub-trades, leading to significant overall cost reductions and provides for the trade-off that is required to bring an affordable sustainable dwelling to the market. The Space2 range of cabins achieves an energy efficiency rating three times the minimum requirement of the building code for all external walls, glazing, flooring and roof.

Smart Hen
Crunchbase | Website | Twitter | Facebook | Linkedin
This Smart Hen is for the home chicken enthusiast who raises them from chicks. The chicks usually sit in the brooder with a dangerous heat lamp and nothing to do.
These heat lamps can injure or kill the chicks and even start home fires. Now the chicks can have a device that looks like their mother and is warm underneath.
This makes them feel safe, have a place to hide, and keeps them warm in a more sad and natural way. There is a version with no camera to include owners with less free cash.
The main version also includes a WiFi camera on the front so the owner can watch their chicks from anywhere in the world. These backyard farmers love their chicks like they’re babies and would easily spend good money on them.
I’ve thrown this around on some chicken groups on Facebook and most people really want one. I just need help making it happen..
