Nabr

Nabr is an innovative people-first housing design company, co-founded by Bjarke Ingels. Nabr’s unique built-to-order model simplifies the path to home-ownership and reimagines the way we design, build and buy homes.

We collaborated with Squint/Opera and developed a 90 second animated film that explains the Nabr story.

To present the home customisation process accessibly, our animated film uses clean and minimal aesthetics, while still feeling human.

Light also plays a big role. It's rays that come through the foliage give a sense of warmth and cosiness.

A 3D environment with a 2D character in it bring the concept to life by focusing on Nabr residents’ wellbeing.
