Modular architecture offers truly enormous possibilities. This is evidenced by these buildings, which can match the height of some skyscrapers. What do the tallest modular structures in the world look like? And where can you find them? How is modular construction doing in the Czech Republic?

Tallest modular building in the world - 461 Dean

The tallest modular building in the world is the first high-rise modular residential building in Brooklyn, New York. It has 32 floors and is 109 meters tall. The building contains 363 apartments in 23 different types. The structure is made up of 930 modules and was designed by Shop Architects. Construction on this building took 4 years, which was 2 years more than originally expected. Such construction addresses the extremely high demand for urban housing in New York, and it is planned that more buildings will be constructed in this area in the same manner.

Tallest modular building in Europe – Apex House

A tall modular building was also created in London, just slightly shorter than the one in New York. This is a space designated for student housing. The second tallest building in the world is 90 meters tall, has 29 floors, and 560 rooms. Its design comes from HTA Architects, and construction took only 12 months. This example clearly illustrates one of the undeniable advantages of modular construction - faster building while maintaining the same quality.

Height modularity in the Czech Republic

The company KOMA MODULAR, which mainly drew attention by supplying the modular Czech pavilion for EXPO 2015 in Milan, also addresses multi-storey modular buildings. As a Czech leader in the field, it is also a pioneer in multi-storey modular structures. The first example can be considered a four-storey modular solidarity hotel for the international humanitarian organization Aurore in Paris. Additionally, the hotel has a playground on its roof. The building was created according to the design of the architectural office Moonarchitectures and delivered in collaboration with the French developer Serie Flex. The building is made from 226 modules, mainly with a footprint of 11 x 2.5m, covering a total area of 5,160 m². KOMA recognizes the need for the construction of small-sized apartment buildings, so it is prepared to deliver these structures up to six floors high.
