Architecture Students Design Low-Cost Housing Prototype

A live build project tests modular timber construction at full scale

Students on the MArch programme have completed a full-scale prototype of a modular timber dwelling, designed to be assembled by a small team in under a week and adaptable to dense urban sites.

The prototype, built on campus, will be monitored for energy performance over the coming year, with findings shared openly with housing associations and local authorities.
