Build 'em up
The Peabody Trust has started using modular construction to build sustainable, high-density, inner-city homes in London. Barons Place is one of the latest projects.
The multi-storey block of one- and two-bedroom flats was built from different combinations of just a couple of standard modules, stacked together in a matter of days.
The steel frame of the modules themselves provides the strength, and accessways, like stairways and balconies, are clipped onto the outside of the building.

Barons Place was assembled from factory-made modules in a single weekend.
