prefabricated modular homes e8
#1
The flat-pack prefabricated modular homes can be built by amateurs with simple tools within two weeks.



Muji + Infill house, Japan, Kazuhiko Namba, 2004 Displayed among other minimalist designed products at a Muji store in Japan, the life-sized prefabricated demonstration house is showcased alongside such products as furniture, bath articles, office products and clothing.

Modular building
Since the advent of modern prefabrication, modular building no longer refers only to the practice of building to a standard di- mensional module, but also to the prefabrication of a volumetric building unit. Modules are three-dimensional independent units or partially complete sections. They can be repeated by stacking or joining side by side in order to extend spaces. The module is the most complete form of prefabrication, usually about 95 % fully fitted with the essential kitchen and bathroom facilities, stor- age amenities and living spaces in the factory, and then sealed for transportation. The greatest advantage of modular building is that the building is immediately ready for use after power and water facilities are connected.

Compared to other types of prefabrication, this is the most cum- bersome and technically challenging one due to the transport of enclosed usable space in prefabricated modular homes. Their weight is limited by the load ca- pacity of trucks, trains or helicopters, and the size of the modules is limited by road widths and shipping container standards, while the maximum width not requiring special permission for road transport is 2.55 m. The modules are usually lifted into place by cranes and bolted in prefabricated modular homes position. During lifting, the modules are subjected to structural forces, notably vertical bending and shear, which are quite different to those they experience after installation. The need to strengthen the modules for lifting and the doubling of floor, roof and wall frames at the connection points result in greater quantities of structural material in prefabricated modular homes.

Loftcube, Berlin, Werner Aisslinger, 2007
The luxurious boxed room has a floor space of up to 39 m² and can be used as a vacation home or an additional penthouse space in the city.

Trailer homes, still popular in the USA since their uptake in the 1930s, are basically modules on wheels. Such manufactured homes are the answer to the industrialisation of the house as a product. The equally futuristic notion of living in capsules be- came a reality in the 1970s with the Nakagin Capsules in Tokyo (Kisho Kurokawa, 1972) and the Capsule Hotel (Kisho Kuroka- wa, 1979) in Osaka. Both prefabricated modular homes examples are in Japan, where the real estate prices are so high that tight living spaces are the norm. The most basic examples of modular building are shipping con- tainers, fitted out with the proper insulation and services and stacked upon each other or within a framework, as temporary forms of living such as students’ quarters (21) or asylum seek- ers’ accommodation. The level of comfort ranges from bare and loud to luxurious and solitary, but the concept of living in a box, at least temporarily, can have a certain aesthetic appeal (22).
In the prefabricated modular homes extension of the Post Hotel in Bezau (23, 24), Austria, the advantages of building with modules clearly outweigh the disad- vantages. Firstly, extremely cold weather conditions and moun- tainous terrain would have greatly hindered continuous assem- bly. Secondly, on-site construction had to be kept to a minimum because of the year-round opening times of this highly-ranked hotel for winter athletes and spa visitors. Thirdly, the high level of craftsmanship of the interiors required specific machinery and precise control. In this case, the travelling distance was only 2 km and the independent floor and ceiling systems offered an excellent sound barrier for the hotel guests.
