IDCUBED Projects in North America

The 11-unit modular CLT neighborhood housing in Castlegar, BC, is comprised of 40 modules to be set in 2 days. The process is based on modular mass timber components, providing a replicable but flexible framework that can be adapted to a range of projects. Rapid module assembly is possible due to the simplicity and high level of precision of a small number of mass timber parts. Each unit has a private balcony for access to the outside.

The affordable neighborhood housing project on Charlotte Street in Detroit is comprised of 90 units of various sizes – studios, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and 3-bedroom units. The building is made of 320 cross laminated timber modules, which can be assembled in 16 days. Each unit has a private balcony for access to the outside.

A 6-unit modular CLT housing project for Chicago's missing middle scale housing, this project is part of an agile, carbon-negative construction process, with components produced off-site, assembled into modules locally, and constructed simply and efficiently on-site. By shifting the typical six-flat stair cores to the center of the building, we liberate the front and back facades to bring abundant natural light to the living spaces. The design also addresses Chicago’s long and narrow typical lot with a generous courtyard that brings additional light, fresh air, and views of landscape to every room in the building. The plan is based on a grid that accounts for the fabrication, transport, and assembly of each component and module. The asymmetrical plan allows for multiple unit sizes and a mixed unit distribution. The design is highly scalable and replicable and can be constructed with less risk, time, and cost.
In collaboration with Architecture for Public Benefit.

Chicago Housing

The first large-scale modular mass timber project in North America is under construction in Big Sky, Montana. Comprised of 120 mass timber modules, this project will provide high-quality, affordable housing for 96 workers. The use of precise mass timber components in a modular process reduces the number of parts by 80% as compared to conventional modular production. This dramatically decreases labor needs and shortens the time of construction, while delivering exceptional quality. With programmatic requirements of short-term housing, which should be comfortable for people of varying backgrounds, the units include 8 private bedrooms with shared living, kitchen, and laundry areas in each unit.
