Nexus Homes has a unique vision for how the home of the future should be built.
It consists of a home so advanced, it recognizes wasted utilities and turns them off.
A home so sustainable, it’s built out of materials that lasts hundreds of years.
A home so intelligent, it can activate its security system when you leave.

Welcome to Model One.
Model One’s base energy efficiency is achieved by utilizing high-performance, Insulated-Concrete Form as the Model One’s structure. With Insulated-Concrete Form, Model One is able to reduce its heating and cooling expenditure by an incredible 50%.
And with the up and coming, Nexus One Smart Home System, Model One will be able to dynamically reduce its energy consumption during periods where you're not home, further reducing its energy usage by up to 75%.
The Model One is built using a high-performance insulating structure called Insulated Concrete Form - a system of modular blocks that are made up of three layers:
a rigid foam double-layer encapsulating a reinforced concrete layer.
These interlocking modular units lock together to create the walls, floors and ceilings that make up the entire structure of the Model One.

With Model One's insulated-concrete structure,
heating and cooling expenditure is cut in half while still achieving desirable room temperature.

During low consumption periods, such as while you’re away at work, energy produced by the Model One’s solar installation can be stored in an integrated battery system for use when you are home. Continue powering your home during the evening and night when the sun is down with stored solar energy.
Geothermal heating and cooling utilizes a system of buried pipes deep underground, called Earth Loops, that extract the relatively constant temperature of the Earth to either heat Model One during the winter or cool Model One during the summer.
Model One's floors can be underlaid with hot water tubing that transfers heat into the room via radiant heat and convection. This approach is more energy-efficient than conventional heating systems because no energy is lost through heated air travelling through Model One's air ducts.
Model One can be outfitted with a Rain Water Collection system to lessen water usage for toilet flushing and lawn irrigation.
During summer, the sun is higher in the sky than it is during winter, resulting in a significant amount of sun rays getting blocked and absorbed by the solar panel overhangs.
During winter, the sun is lower in the sky than it is during summer, resulting in a significant amount of sun rays passing under the solar panel overhangs into your house.
Our demo Model One achieves an incredible 75% less energy used by combining its Insulated Concrete Structure with a unique Passive Solar Design installation and a Radiant Floor Heating system.
By utilizing Insulated Concrete Form as it’s frame and structure, Model One is significantly more durable, longer-lasting and more sustainable than conventional wood-frame homes:
With reinforced concrete being the core material used in Model One’s structural frame, Model One is substantially more durable and resilient compared to conventional wood-frame homes. By being 4x more fire resistant and significantly more durable against natural disasters, Model One delivers unparalleled peace of mind.
The Model One’s Insulated Concrete structure can last up to 500 years before needing significant repair — about 5x longer lasting than a conventional wood-frame home. This translates into significantly less repairs needed during your ownership of the house, offering you unmatched peace of mind.
Modern homes are traditionally built out of a wooden structural frame which involves cutting down and using an average of 30 trees. With the Model One’s concrete structural frame, over 90% less trees are used to build each Model One.
Excluding wood from the build process of the Model One’s structure also significantly reduces the potential of mould buildup. Rotting and natural deterioration of wood is also avoided, making the Model One’s structural frame an incredibly sustainable home.
Your Model One can feature a massive rooftop terrace that spans the entire rooftop, allowing for summer barbecues and rooftop parties unlike any other home.
