Project Integer, Kunming
Brief Intelligent and Green houses with emphasis on sustainable lifestyle, environmental protection and open-platform intelligent technology
Date 2013
Location Kunming, China
The INTEGER Kunming Project is the first eco-town in southern China. This is also the first INTEGER project in mainland China, with the emphasis on sustainable lifestyle, environmental protection and open-platform intelligent technology, setting new standards for housing quality and the use of modern building technologies. The INTEGER Kunming Project occupies a naturally vegetated site adjacent to the current International Horticultural Expo, on the north-eastern fringes of Kunming City. The Project comprises 4 Intelligent and Green houses and a 2,000 sq. m. Visitor Centre on a 5 hectare site, showcasing the vision for the adjacent 255 hectare development of some 2,000 houses.

One of the key focuses of the INTEGER Kunming Project is to establish a platform for active research and the evaluation of new technologies in both real-life utilization and real-time visitor’s response. The Project will also play an important role in the education of the general public, school children, home buyers and real estate developers in raising awareness of environmental issues.
