SAM (Smart adaptive module) from Bao Living - Rethinking construction. An eco-friendly constructed module that bundles all utilities like heating, electricity, water, ventilation, home automation, kitchen and bathroom. Ventilation system. Type C, D or even centralized systems possibilities. Heating system
Shaft

Heating & ventilation

The heating pipes and ventilation ducts are neatly tucked away and run through the cornice around the module to the units.

Electricity

The central switchboard is seamlessly incorporated into SAM. All appliances and lighting are powered through this point.

Water

The plumbing supply and drain is integrated into SAM. Thanks to the clever design, you do not see the pipes, but they are easily accessible for maintenance.

Meet SAM

SAM is a new revolutionary method of providing all the utilities in an apartment, starting from a central technical shaft.
Heating, water, electricity, ventilation, communication, it's all in a single SAM. The appliances, pipes and wires as well as the outlets.

Ventilation, air conditioning & heating

The heating pipes and ventilation ducts are neatly tucked away and run through the cornice around the module to the units.

Water

The plumbing and drainage systems for the sanitary facilities are integrated in SAM. Thanks to the smart design, you don't see the pipes but they are easily accessible for maintenance.

Electricity

The main electrical service panel is perfectly concealed in SAM. Through this point, all devices and lighting are supplied with power. Most switches are located on the module, but additional (wireless) switches can also be installed elsewhere.

SAM vs. traditional construction

Live spaciously through smart design

One of the great advantages of building with SAM is the savings in space within your project. Thanks to our modular and innovative approach to installing technology and living functions, for example, the need for a separate technical storage room is eliminated in the design. This increases the habitable area of a home by 10%. In some cases this can be as much as 20%, as shown in the example next to this text!

This has a positive impact on residential enjoyment and translates into a higher rental or sales price.

1.. 2.. 3.. Ready!

With SAM, we say goodbye to traditional construction methods. Everything is prefabricated off-site and delivered as one complete kit to your construction site. This allows our installers to work faster and more efficiently, saving you valuable time. Moreover, if required, we coordinate the entire installation process, reducing your need to manage and the risk of communication errors and better quality control. As a result, your project can be delivered an average of 3 months earlier.

Designed for a better environment

With SAM, you can save up to 5.5 tons of CO2 emissions compared to traditional construction methods just during installation. That's equivalent to the emissions of a car that would drive around the world! Thanks to easy disassembly and efficient use of materials, the environmental impact is drastically reduced. Calculate how much difference SAM can make to your project through our ECOlator on the Eco-plan page."

SAM vs. traditional construction

Live spaciously through smart design

One of the greater benefits of building with SAM is the space savings realized in your project.
Through our modular and innovative way of installing the various techniques and living functions, we eliminate, among other things, the technical storage of the design. Thus, we increase the average living space of a home by about 10%. This can even go up to 20% as in the example on the right!

This results not only in a more pleasant living experience but also in a higher rental or sales price.

2 for the price of 1

With our standardised kitchen modules you get double value for your investment. Not only do they provide your kitchen with all the necessary appliances and counter space, in most designs their back side also serves as a bathroom wall.

This way you save space and budget for your project!

Space in small area

Our SAM specific storage cabinets replace the dividing wall between bedroom and living area.
This creates extra storage space in a space that
is difficult to provide in smaller homes.

You also have the option of fitting a murphy bed in the SAM. In this way, you save even more valuable space in your flat or studio.

Peter Verhees

HABI

"In this project, the technical shaft is the central hub around which the SAM is designed. The apartments are heated by a heat pump that is nicely tucked away in the SAM. This eliminates the need for a technical room in the apartments and creates additional living space for the residents."

Bart Wouters
Technical Construction Director
Urbicoon

"I must honestly say, for me the cooperation with Bao Living has been very positive. I would give this one a 9 out of 10. Therefore, the probability of us working together again is 100%!"

Lode Goethals
Architect
BAST

"Bao Living's vision on the integration of utilities in their first product, SAM, has what it takes to tackle the need for innovation and to speed up efficiency in the building process. We were immediately sold on the notion of installing all the utilities of a living space with just one product."
