Providing Scalable Building Solutions for a Circular Future

BetaPort provides circular "Building As a Service" (BAaS) solutions for sustainable
architectures on-demand. We offer adaptive spaces that are flexible in use and follow an
open-source mentality. Our system can grow over time and adapt to future use cases,
activated through predictive planning for maximum efficient layouts. BetaPort offers the
seamless integration of technical solutions as well as a circular production chain,
including material tracking.

Sustainable Architecture, digitally planned, using Automation

BetaPort offers a modular building system, built into a whole ecosystem, designed
around the reversible building blocks. The BetaPort system is built upon highly flexible
interior layouts, based on modular building blocks. The design can react to changes, like
varying capacities or alternating functions. A digital design workflow was crafted to
create modular, prefabricated building blocks that allow for scalability and fast
construction on a multitude of locations.
BetaPort comes with a digital planning tool: The BetaPort configurator. It serves as an
interactive platform to connect various project stakeholders, decision makers, planners
and users alike. The design process becomes an interactive act of participation and
allows unseen information streams, relations and processes to be visualized, compared
and optimized.
Using machine learning and custom algorithms the configurator is designed for playful
and efficient planning. It eliminates planning errors , anticipates building costs and
creates production data.

Affordable and Easy to Build
BetaPort construction has a certified and patented building technology with a
streamlined production. Every element is tested and quality checked in the factory to
guarantee a great product.
On site all elements are easy to assemble, by skilled and non-skilled workers. BetaPort
fosters the democratization of construction through its participatory, systematic and
open-source approach to building. We offer digital manuals for all building scales and
sizes, including custom elements.

Completely designed on Circular Economy Principles
Designed for disassembly: BetaPort uses material passport and reversible connections.
Completely designed from renewables or cycled materials BetaPort aims to provide
sustainable buildings that create carbon sinks and active material depots. Innovative
material sourcing and combination strategies allow for upcycled and secondary
materials in the construction system. In this way BetaPort enables new business models,
based on space on-demand solutions, service and subscription models to create
"Buildings as a Service" (BaaS).

BetaPort ONE BetaPort One is the world's first circular hub on-demand, completely implemented with our efficient planning process and our ecological building system. BetaPort One seamlessly integrates innovative mobility solutions and charging infrastructure into a new generation mobility hub: circular, sustainable, participatory planned and easy to scale. With our circular design approach, every BetaPort ONE pop-up becomes an actively managed material depot including material passports. Thanks to an ecosystem of components, rooms can easily be added, relocated or remodeled. Relocation to other locations is possible in a short time thanks to the simple construction system.
