Who we are
Welcome to Ikonomo
Hi, I'm Harry, the founder of Ikonomo.
What started as a passion for pioneering new, sustainable building methods has transformed into something far more significant. As Ikonomo evolved and new collaborations emerged, we recognized a critical opportunity to confront two urgent challenges facing the UK:
The rising cost of living.
The alarming spread of plastic and waste pollution in our waterways, impacting communities from local to national levels.
Our Solution: Waste to Wonderful Homes
At Ikonomo, we're tackling these issues head-on. We're proud to partner exclusively with UK-based charities, organizations, and businesses to intercept waste, transforming it into eco-conscious, modular buildings.
Our innovative process gives new life to materials that would otherwise pollute our rivers and oceans:
Aluminium is repurposed into sturdy, reliable framing.
Plastic finds new purpose in essential interior components.
Beyond our core structures, we've also developed a range of products featuring a high percentage of recycled materials, all designed for infinite recyclability at the end of their lifespan. This truly closes the loop on waste, creating a sustainable future.
Why Ikonomo?
Our Mission: Building a Circular Future
At Ikonomo, our long-term mission is to revolutionize affordable housing across the UK. We're dedicated to expanding our reach and collaborating with communities nationwide to deliver circular economy housing solutions.
Affordable & Accessible Homes
We're committed to providing homes at a fixed, transparent cost, currently estimated between £35,000 and £60,000. To make homeownership truly accessible, we offer flexible payment options over a 10-year period.
Sustainable & Future-Proofed Communities
Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond construction. We've implemented a unique 10-year module refresh cycle. Every decade, our housing modules are fully recycled and repurposed into newer, more advanced equivalents. This innovative approach guarantees our communities remain in excellent condition and at the forefront of sustainable living.
Minimal Environmental Impact
The infrastructure on each Ikonomo site is meticulously designed for minimal disruption to the surrounding environment. All fixtures and fittings are fully removable, offering landowners the flexibility to restore the site to its original condition after the 10-year period if desired.
Off-Grid Living
Every Ikonomo community is designed for complete energy and water independence. We achieve this by:
Harvesting water and electricity directly on-site through a combination of solar, wind, and efficient hydroelectricity (where available).
Filtering collected rainwater from each property for safe drinking and consumption.
This ensures a truly sustainable and self-sufficient living experience for all residents.
