The dimensions of the two types of modules – four by ten or two by ten meters – allow a wide variety of buildings and apartment typologies, and make it possible for prefabricated modules to be transported using the standard road network. The modules can be assembled quickly and with little noise (wood is a soft material), and are easy to give unique expression through wood detailing – creating a sense of place while using a ROW HOUSE LARGE ROW HOUSE highly rational process. Consistently making use of wood creates a material continuity in the block and adds depth to the urban arboretum; establishing a strong, natural starting point for a block identity. The modules’ contents are either technical/programmed or open, and all variations of housing and collective functions in the buildings are assembled using different constellations of the two module types. We have outlined a few apartment possibilities below – using different ways to connect and stack the modules. The system reflects our basic design philosophy for Sege Park; a focus on available, unprogrammed space combined with clearly demarcated programmed spaces. The ambition for the module- COLLECTIVE system is to ensure affordability, sustainability and long-term flexibility – qualities that interact and need to be considered holistically. Using cross-laminated timber rather than a less solid wood construction, for instance, entails a trade-off, with somewhat greater cost and much greater sustainability.
