Study on Designing a Modular House

Abstract

The paper presents a study on creating a modular construction based on a simple shaped module. The solution resulted from large research on existing designs, the idea of modular houses having not a long history, but a rich one. The existing solutions helped in formulating a list of requirements that included most of their advantages. The basic module is a square-shaped panel that can be easily personalized according to necessities: a wall with a door or/and windows, ceiling, and floor. The study includes solutions regarding electric wiring and plumbing design for bathrooms or kitchens. The design included solutions for creating different configurations and volumes for the final building involving the designing of connecting modules.
