A transitional housing community designed with 108 nos. of MIC units and 2 nos. of in-situ accessible units. Considering the restricted site area, ease of construction, sequence of installation and costs, the module size was designed as 3.1m x 5.5m. The factory production of the MIC units runs in parallel with the in-situ works such as corridor, staircase and plant rooms on site to fast track overall construction time. Using enclosed kitchen instead of open kitchen and keeping the building under 4 storeys, the fire services installation could be greatly simplified in accordance to the fire code. It also resulted in costs and construction time benefits while bringing better convenience to tenants as well as improving living standard. The steel MIC modules were designed for easy dismantle, facilitating transportation and re-usable considerations. |
