Prefabricated housing of high design and quality construction has long been an elusive goal for architects, where industry practices, bureaucratic regulations and cost have always stood in the way—until now. The New York–based firm Resolution: 4 Architecture is revolutionising prefab housing with their Modern Modular design system. Home designs based on modules of use intended for communal or private spaces are mixed and matched to achieve an infinite number of designs suited to each buyer’s site, budget and lifestyle. Modern Modular, the first book on the critically acclaimed firm, presents fourteen beautifully photographed case studies illustrating each step in their prefab system— from design and fabrication to transportation, siting and final construction of distinctively modern and surprisingly affordable new homes.
