Scotland Installs First Modular Housing Project

scottishhousingnews__credit__Audrey_Sinclair_and_Matt_Stevenson__first_mods_in_ScotlandA pioneering social housing (low income) development commissioned by the Highland Council in Scotland has resulted in eight one bedroom modular apartments at Kendal Court, according to scottishhousingnews. The first of its kind in the country, the project was developed and designed by Inverness-based social housing company JNESpace and manufactured by Carbon Dynamic in Invergordon.

Produced with energy efficiency and sustainability in mind, each flat should cost £20 (just over $30.) per month to run. The modular homes are built using cross laminated timber (CLT), and each unit has its own access and balcony, and a low carbon footprint.

Matt Stevenson, managing director at Carbon Dynamic, said, “It demonstrates an alternative to traditional social housing to help tackle fuel poverty and the apartments installed today will do just that.

Councillor Audrey Sinclair, chair of Highland Council’s planning, development and infrastructure committee, said, “We hope this will be the first of many more such sustainable social housing projects. These units are high quality, easy to install and extremely well-insulated making them inexpensive to heat. They can be quickly built to a high standard meaning less waste and less cost,” adding, she hopes to receive feedback from the residents who will live there.

Site preparations can be made while the homes are being manufactured in the factory, leading to decreased overall production time, as MHProNews knows. ##
