Architect says its modular system will slash time and cost of design process

RCKa has submitted plans for 47 modular homes in north London designed using a system it developed itself.

The homes at Broadfields Estate in Edgware will be built using RCKa’s own “Common Home” system – a set of house types based on Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs), and specifically developed by the architect to minimise construction wastage, cost and unnecessary complexity in the design and construction of new homes.

RCKa claims its system, developed using BIM, enables a typical Common Home product, using local supply chains, to be designed and configured in a few weeks at a fraction of typical consultant fees.
