Building connected communities through modular innovation in modular housing

25 Nov 2025

In today’s fast-evolving housing market, flexibility, sustainability, and community have become essential values. Daiwa House Modular Europe is leading this transformation with its innovative approach to modular construction — exemplified by a recent special housing concept of 135 apartments delivered for affordable modular housing.

A vibrant, inclusive community

The development brings together residents aged 27 to 40, creating a diverse and active community built on shared values of connection and participation. Designed for those who consciously choose collective living, the complex encourages social interaction through a range of shared spaces and activities. From cooking and language classes in the communal living room to game nights and casual gatherings, the building is more than a place to live — it’s a place to belong. Facilities such as the “Miele Laundry Boutique” and professional workspaces further enhance the sense of togetherness, providing residents with both comfort and convenience.

Thoughtful design and modern comfort

Architecturally, the complex consists of a striking L-shaped main building by the waterfront, complemented by two adjacent structures. The project includes 28 studios, 103 2-bedroom, and four 3-bedroom apartments, all fully furnished and equipped with private kitchens and bathrooms. Communal areas, including a lush courtyard garden, a roof terrace, and a spacious shared lounge, have been carefully designed to foster everyday encounters. An on-site manager ensures smooth operations and supports the residents’ community life.

Advanced modular construction

At the heart of the project’s success lies Daiwa House Modular Europe’s state-of-the-art factory, which opened in May 2024. Using advanced automation and robotic precision, the modular units were produced rapidly without compromising on quality, showcasing leading Modern Methods of Construction (MMC). The building’s exterior showcases innovative craftsmanship: smart steel portals and integrated façade elements conceal module seams and incorporate ventilation grilles for the Nilan multifunctional MVHR system. The result is a sleek, cohesive design that looks and feels like a traditionally constructed building but built in a fraction of the time.

Sustainable flexibility for the future

The entire project, from factory production to on-site assembly, was completed in just seven months, a powerful demonstration of Daiwa House Modular Europe’s ability to deliver sustainable modular buildings and high-quality modular housing at speed.

Delivered as part of our ambitious residential strategy, this development showcases a vibrant mix of homes designed for every stage of life. From stylish 1–3 bedroom apartments and modern 2-bedroom terraces to spacious 4-bedroom townhouses, assisted living residences, and dynamic student accommodation.

Daiwa House Modular Europe continues to redefine what’s possible in residential construction, building not just homes, but communities for the future through scalable modular building systems.
