USP Modular homes

Atelio, an innovative, environmentallyconscious model for modular zero- carbon housing, was launched this month at UK Construction Week.

Highly customisable and created from cutting- edge technology and recycled materials, Atelio was developed by a team consisting of Grimshaw, SAM Architects, manufacturer Tufeco and the Carbon Free Group.

The design was unveiled with a prototype installation at the Build Show for UK Construction Week in Birmingham.

Atelio enables homeowners, developers and investors to create an affordable living environment shaped to suit their needs. The system provides a diverse set of configurations using prefabricated panels connected along a grid- like system.

The modular nature of Atelio ensures that each home is futureproofed and expandable to suit the needs of the owner, with a discreet central service column passing through the heart of the house, joining subterranean heat and storage systems to the floor underfoot.

While a singular Atelio modular house can be built, the system is designed to work in a broader master- planned community, offering large- scale developments an opportunity to build houses that form a neighbourhood with a distinct identity.
