ZED Factory, the creators of the ZEDpod concept, which is meant to use an existing site, like a parking lot, and build above it, without disrupting the primary use of the business below it. The ZEDpod is a prefabricated concept, built off site and then transported and erected on the site. The saving in this project, comes from the fact that the developers, don't have to purchase the land, but just buy the air rights, to build above. In the case of a parking space, it can continue working as such and bringing income for the owner of the land. The construction is solid and durable but can easily be relocated if needed. The future will see us having to figure out how, to make the most efficient use of resources, without penalising living standards and health.
