London developer Cube Haus has commissioned Adjaye Associates, Faye Toogood, Skene Catling de la Peña, and Carl Turner Architects to design affordable modular houses for awkward urban sites.
The start-up was set up last year with the aim of delivering "high-design value homes at reasonable prices" that can be configured to fit small and awkward urban sites.
It aims to "disrupt" the existing housing market and offer "a fresh approach to resolving the housing crisis".

Founded by entrepreneurs Philip Bueno de Mesquita and Paul Tully, Cube Haus has commissioned four leading architects and designers to design modular homes, which can be customised for different shaped plots of land. Adjaye Associates, which is led by David Adjaye who is on the judging panel for the inaugural Dezeen Awards, has created a timber-clad two-storey house that could be added to a typical London terrace.
Visualisations of London-based interior, furniture & fashion designer Faye Toogood's concept, shows a simple timber house with a pitched roof and a lofty open-plan living area.
