This modular housing system is a strong new option for affordable housing. It shows how architects can innovate and work with manufacturers to deliver well-designed small-scale dwellings. Despite its compact size, the interior feels open and spacious. The house also has low embodied carbon, supported by a fast and efficient build process. Exposed cross-laminated timber adds warmth and character throughout, with thick timber elements and a suspended floor creating a sense of solidity. Light pine surfaces contrast with bright interior colours. Though small in area, the design feels generous and offers a thoughtful alternative to typical, standardised housing.
