The Box Haven represents a soft twist on the Modular Home Industry Best seller, the typical 120sqm, 3 room house with an open social space and a garage.
It was the most required model in different markets, such as the portuguese or french. Because of the demand, this was the first model to suffer a deep study of adaptation and standardization, in order to optimize its structure and finishments, adapt its spatial organization to abide the laws and abits of different countries and also design a strategy for the technical facilities, in order to concentrate them in the plan and facilitate the assembly process, decreasing the time of construction.
This first approach still stands as a case-study in the company, and led to several principles that are now followed in the design process of the Architecture phase.
