London is currently facing challenges in meeting the demand for housing and workspace. This has led to a considerable shortage of homes, which has increased pressure on businesses. It is essential to focus on delivering both new homes and new job opportunities. astudio™ modular design offers an innovative modular housing system, servicing housing needs and delivering on design quality, programme and cost efficiency, sustainability, and flexibility. What started 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, addressing the most pressing needs of the housing industry.

programme and cost efficiency
astudio's design of the modular building system can reduce programme length by 50% (saving over 75% in building time). The modular building system offers many advantages, such as the ability to deliver top-quality materials at reduced cost, constant quality control, excellent finishing, and embedded sustainability.
sustainability
astudio™ modular housing product is designed to touch the ground lightly, providing the potential for off-grid urban living. Designed to Code for Sustainable Homes level 4 and PassivHaus energy performance standards, this significantly reduces the environmental footprint of the development. The system uses existing methods of manufacture and construction, which allows for testing and guarantees environmental performance in a factory setting, as well as reducing material waste and energy in the fabrication process.
