North is a tricky word – most of us love it from a distance. It takes a lot to make life comfortable in the North. At this point, it is more crucial to make the North itself comfortable, with us preserving its ice sheets, its being, as best as we can.

Genius – technology and design
The house is designed to with-stand and function in the northern climate. Using sustainable materi-als and working with producers who care about the footprint they leave on this planet were key focuses in creating the house. All things considered, the natural processes within ourselves and our environment shape who we are and vice versa. With Manta Genius, we maximize the potential of using natural en-ergy resources for daily life. The next couple of years will be criti-cal in defining how we are going to live on this planet in terms of
taking responsibility for our ac-tions. The solutions that we have brought to life are nothing unique, but they are the best that we can put together, for now. We are sure it’s not even the beginning.
Manta Genius will bring us closer to nature.

With the increasing disappearance of resources and contamination of our natural habitat came the discovery of Manta*. Conscious dependance. Being aware of long-lasting consequences and taking responsibility for our previous actions.
It is not a punishment; it’s the solution.
The Discovery
The initiative joined architects, engineers and sociologists in discussion. Think of the main problems people face at the moment and how the near future will unfold. It’s a guess, but so far the most valid guess we’ve ever had.
Manta* [manta – a thing, the real thing, the real deal in the Latvian language, one of the oldest languages in the Indo-European branch].

We see a community of modern, energetic and smart people who enjoy nature as much as they enjoy the city. It’s either a weekend sanctuary or a permanent residence, satisfying the basic needs of comfort and rest while using resources responsibly and providing an inspiring space and environment.Tech lovers will enjoy this house as much as lumberjacks will, for two main reasons. One is that a tech lover and a lumberjack may

be one and the same person; the other is that many details of this house bring the domains of nature and technology closer than ever.
It is an affordable space composed entirely of satisfying ingredients. Mobility and the free flow of thought are enjoyed at the fullest and pushed even further than ever before. To bring it even further – Manta is a way of life. Movement at the expense of staid rules.
