amodular

What has begun as a research stream, has evolved into an integral part of the work we design and deliver. amodular is a unique although not entirely distinct service we provide in developing innovative offsite solutions to address the most pressing needs of the housing industry.

London is struggling to accommodate the demand for housing and workspace. This is resulting in a considerable shortage of homes, which in turn is increasing pressure on businesses. The result is a situation where the focus should be on delivering both new homes and new jobs. astudio modular design offers an innovative modular housing, servicing housing need and delivering on design quality, programme & cost efficiency, sustainability and flexibility.

As temporary or permanent units housing can respond to the changing needs of the client or the site.
