Let's take a look at some of the best modular architecture around the world.

Izola Social Housing by OFIS Arhitekti (Slovenia)

A social housing project with 30 unique, flexible apartments of differing sizes. Each apartment has a veranda, creating an intimate outdoor space that is partly connected with the interior, which remains shady and naturally ventilated.

Starbucks Taiwan by Kengo Kuma (Taiwan)

modular architecture

This Starbucks store consists of 29 shipping containers, shifted and stacked into a grid formation. A series of skylights and single pane windows were used to bring light into the structure, transforming the dark shipping containers into pleasant, habitable spaces.
