This modular home shows the creativity and design that modular construction can bring to the table. I really like the simplistic look of what is not a simple home to build.
The project, an elegant design made of two stacked and twisted volumes that cantilever out towards the landscape, features an inverted version of the traditional house layout – its bedrooms and more private, enclosed spaces are located on the ground floor, while living and entertaining areas are upstairs, making the most of the views.
British-based prefabrication specialist Koto has been hard at work developing modular home design, from compact work cabins to agile mini abodes, since its inception in 2017. The forward-thinking company, founded by couple Johnathon and Zoë Little and architect Theo Dales, has completed a range of minimalist cabins, such as its off-the-grid sauna in Ireland, all infused with Scandinavian style and sustainable architecture principles.

A dark timber skin envelopes the clean, boxy volumes of Falcon House, and inside, the wood theme continues – only in lighter color tones that flow from floors to walls and ceilings, as well as bespoke joinery and cabinetry everywhere. The building is made of an exposed CLT structure and walls, and the whole is energy neutral.
