SECTOR: Housing
VALUE: £ 80K
AREA: 122sqm
STATUS: Completed
CLIENT: JTC Developments / Hanson TiS
Constructed off-site the four modular unit scheme was designed to be installed on-site on a single day with minimal enabling and post installation works.
Providing well proportioned living spaces and three generous bedrooms the house also features a double height entrance hall and staircase, which also acts as a passive stack-ventilation device.
This was one of a number of sustainable features which, combined with extensive use of modern methods of construction, successfully demonstrates an alternative to the traditional construction approaches typically used within the mass housing market.
