According to Merriam-Webster’s dictionary, a modular home is essentially a universal housing design with scalable and flexible options. Kauri Foundation homes are exactly that! Each home system arrives flat-packed, and can be assembled with simple tools such as a drill, hammer, and screwdriver. Each home can be customized to meet the needs of its occupants, and provides comfort, safety, and stability in the midst of a global housing crisis.

Modular homes are sustainable homes that positively impact the Earth’s environment as well as the lives of the families living in them. The Kauri Foundation offers a home system design that coincides with the UK’s standards of a modular home. Here are four reasons why modular homes are the way forward:

1. They are built 50% faster to make from start to finish than brick and mortar homes.

2. Their construction is both more efficient and kinder to the environment with substantially less waste.

3. They cut the amount of CO2 produced as a result of construction by up to 83%.

4. Their manufacturing creates jobs and delivers investment to low-growth, low-income areas in the UK.

We’re not just impacting post-disaster communities - we’re impacting the very atmosphere that you are currently breathing. We are making moves to distribute our home systems to communities in Europe, and with your support we will see this come to fruition!
