engineering and inspiring design, we look forward to working with our partners to create homes for families across the UK.”
Meanwhile, the UK’s largest modular private residential development, Aspire, has been given planning permission in Slough and follows £600million Heart Of Slough regeneration investment.
The Berkshire commuter town will have its London rail connection boosted by Crossrail from next year and the Click Properties development of 238 new apartments, including 50 affordable homes, will be completed by mid-2019.
Building starts in October and, thanks to off-site building methods, installation of the modular units will take just 10 weeks.
“Slough is undergoing a renaissance, making it a fantastic place to live and work,” says Click Properties CEO Aaron Emmett. “Our apartments will provide high-spec housing for a growing population, helping to meet the increased demand for homes.”
The studio, one, two and three-bedroom apartments plus penthouses will be available in 50 different specifications and will have the option to be fully smart homes. No prices are available yet but for more details call 0207 0788 583 or go to haveyouclicked.co.uk. To register interest email aspire@haveyouclicked.co.uk.
Award-winning architect Richard Hywel Evans has also created a prototype home for the modular housing brand nHouse, which it is hoping to sell to developers and housing associations or individuals who want to build their own homes.
The company has a new factory in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, where there’s a show home to display how the high-tech, sustainable buildings can work.
Starting from £200,000, they have a minimum of four modules that would be built at the factory and connected on site within just a few days.
Founders Richard Hywel Evans and Nick Fulford presented early concepts for the design at the four-day global real estate event, MIPIM in Cannes last year and Hywel Evans says: “We had strong interest in our product which gave us the confidence to move on to the next level.”
