Real life example of a Modular home on Store Street
Wates and Rollalong have installed a module in the crescent at the Building Centre. Designed by RCKa and developed and built by Rollalong in just over 70 days, the module aims to demonstrate the art of the possible in creating alternative solutions to the temporary accommodation crisis by delivering homes when they’re needed, where they’re needed. Walking from Shelter’s cramped hotel room, step inside a home for the meantime and experience the benefits of a safe, warm, self-contained home that could support families in their local areas.
