Additional Information

Affordable Abodes was set up to develop affordable, low-cost housing that would make it possible for Bottom-of-Pyramid (BoP) populations to have their own homes. Operating in Malaysia and Singapore, we have our sights set on improving the lives of the poor in the ASEAN region and beyond, through developing sustainable housing solutions. Beyond this, our technologies are enabling construction of dormitories, renovations and business extensionsfaster and at a lower cost than ever before. Affordable Abodes aims to provide affordable, resilient and sustainable housing solutions for low income families and the poor. The core technology is KENAFCRETE, a bio-composite made up of locally grown kenaf fibers. The exceptional strength-to-weight ratio allows us to construct homes far stronger than typical ones. Constructing homes using prefabricated KENAFCRETE panels allows to get started quickly, with minimal piling and structural reinforcements needed,finishing a one-storey home in a week.
