Pioneering modular apartments
Modular isn't new to us, at Moho in Castlefield we were the first UK developer to bring modular construction to the private homes market. Designed by award-winning architects shedkm, the building has won awards for innovation, design and marketing.
The 102 Moho apartments are designed around a central bathroom and kitchen area, with the living space and bedrooms either side. A large timber decked balcony allows for private outdoor space in addition to the resident's communal garden. With floor to ceiling glazing, Smeg kitchen appliances and storage built into the apartment, including wardrobe space.
