3. The world's first prefabricated, pre-cast paneled
apartment blocks were pioneered in Liverpool.

4. The idea was not extensively adopted in Britain,
however was widely adopted elsewhere, particularly in
Eastern Europe.

5. Modern Housing Concepts

6. Architects are incorporating modern designs into
the prefabricated apartments of today.

7. Prefab housing should no longer be compared to a
mobile home in terms of appearance, but to that of a
complex modernist design.

8. There has also been an increase in the use of green
materials in the construction of these prefab apartments.
Consumers can easily select between different
environmentally friendly finishes and wall systems.

9. Examples of Prefab Apartments

10. Broadway Stack
is a 28-unit moderateincome apartment
complex built with 56
prefabricated modules in
New York City.
The modules were
assembled off-site in a
former subway car
factory and then shipped
to Inwood, where they
are stacked to form a
seven-story tower.

11. A Finnish architecture
group has built and
successfully installed the
world's first mobile
apartment building.
The 3-story, steel-framed
building is 108 feet long,
40 feet high and weighs a
total of 485,017 pounds.
It was completely
assembled in a shipyard
warehouse and
successfully moved en
masse to a waterfront
location in Turku.

12. Bloc10 is a condominium
project which sits on a site
formerly occupied by a gas
station in Winnipeg’s River
Heights neighborhood.
The developer wanted a
modestly priced building
that could be completed
within 12 months.
The panels were delivered
to the site then assembled,
which helped accelerate the
construction schedule,
improve quality control and
reduce overall waste.
