Modular Flatted Development, Arbroath

ACA’s second commission with McCallan Homes has involved designing the development of twelve 2-bedroom flats in Arbroath, Scotland.

The brownfield site was a former pub and hotel, which had fallen into disrepair. The local planning team supported the proposed regeneration of the site with the contemporary scheme.

As McCallan Homes are experts in Constructing Modular Homes, the flats were organised in a way which maximised construction efficiencies, for the off-site construction method.

The modular flatted development has the main structure, designed to utilise the energy and time efficiencies gained by using the SIPS panel system.

Each flat was divided into (on average) 4 modules. These were entirely fabricated in the factory and transported to the site. This included the fitting of flooring, electrics and plumbing (including bathrooms).
