Variety in a Systematised Approach
Prefabrication and variety are not mutually-exclusive.
In fact, the design may even become richer - because it tells the story of how a building and its pieces were made and put together.
Prefabrication and variety are not mutually-exclusive. Whilst additional production and assembly constraints may restrict what is possible, site- & project-specific responses, regulatory and life-cycle considerations, as well as varied architectural expression in terms of material, rhythm, pattern, scale and colour, are all still possible.

Pre-fab is not what it used to be
Gone are the days when modular, pre-fabricated housing has to be associated with unfeeling and drab concrete boxes. This is what the new era of pre-fab looks and feels like.

Gone are the days when modular, pre-fabricated housing has to be associated with unfeeling and drab concrete boxes. Pre-fabricated timber construction is not only more lightweight and sustainable, but creates a warm atmosphere with natural surfaces and a beneficial indoor climate. The simple and honest structural design is made legible in the exposed columns and beams that also delineate interior spaces.
Our partners' innovative manufacturing processes and our system-based approach also allow for a range of configurable interior design lines with variable ceiling and floor materialities, colour ranges and built-in furniture modules.
