Velux partners with Habitat for Humanity to expand Living Places concept. February 27, 2026 | 10:45 am CST FORT MILL, S.C. - Velux, a global leader in skylights and daylight solutions, has expanded its Living Places concept to the United States by partnering with the Habitat for Humanity of York County, which will build multiple homes that prove healthy, energy-efficient, high-quality housing can also be sustainable and affordable. The initiative lays the foundation for a scalable model that Velux aims to create a ripple effect nationwide. During the first initiative in York County, the first U.S. Living Places-inspired builds will be completed on Lige Street in Rock Hill, with three to five Habitat for Humanity homes that each prioritize sustainability and affordability. "At Habitat for Humanity of York County, we believe everyone deserves a decent place to live, and that includes homes that are healthy, efficient, and built for the future," said Tim Veeck, Chief Executive Officer of Habitat for Humanity of York County. "This partnership with Velux allows us to learn from proven international models while setting a new standard for sustainable, affordable homeownership in the United States." "We're proud to partner with Habitat for Humanity of York County through our Living Places initiative to advance affordable, healthy, and sustainable housing," said Stephan Moyon, president of Velux America/Velux Canada. "Together, we're developing a model that recognizes that true affordability includes both construction and ongoing utility costs. This partnership demonstrates that features like skylights can play a meaningful role in even the most cost-effective housing, helping ensure everyone has access to better living." The Velux Living Places initiative was developed by the Velux Group, EFFEKT architects, and Artelia engineers to create sustainable, healthy, and affordable housing. Launched in 2023 in Copenhagen, the initiative challenges the building industry by demonstrating that low-carbon, high-quality homes can be built today using existing technology. It draws on five core principles for residential construction: healthy, shared, simple, adaptive and scalable. The U.S. expansion comes at a time when the country faces significant challenges in the built environment, including rising home prices, high regulatory costs, and a growing shortage of affordable options. "The collaboration with Habitat for Humanity of York County represents an important step toward rethinking how American homes can be built for both people and planet. At Velux, we believe that healthier, more efficient buildings are essential to improving quality of life. With our Living Places building principles, we want to demonstrate that better homes can be built today using existing technologies and widely available materials," said Moyon.
