MODULAR ARCHITECTURE
THE IDEA
Modular architecture, which is, is right for you, is more environmentally friendly
Traditional house is changing, materials are changing, in the previous century if the family grew,
we had to change houses, and when the children grew up, we turned back.
​
But your home can grow and change with you and at the apple box we believe that modular homes are the answer.
Modular construction is that a house is prefabricated and then assembled on the ground. Modular construction takes place before the building arrives on site.
Once the agreed upon design for your home has been prefabricated, it is transported to site and assembled, ready for you to move in, making a significant difference in construction times, cost savings and relative with the environment, since 90% of a modular home is recyclable, so the rule of the 3 R Reuse, Reduce and Recycle is met.
In the field of energy saving, our current modular architecture projects guarantee compliance with the agreements for the reduction of rates in consumption and supplies. In other words, this construction system allows rationalizing the use of energy and reducing the rates of water and electricity consumption by up to 40%.
Constructive method
It starts from a base module (a room or a group of rooms) that modules can continue to be added as needs change over time.
This could mean, for example, adding an extension to the rear or side or an extra plant above the base as well as very easily changing the interior layout of the base.
For the enclosure of the building, the facades, the slabs and the exterior carpentry are used elements capable of assuming different types of insulation and different thicknesses. In this way, with the same modular skeleton,
it is possible to improve the effectiveness of the own isolation and to face different climatic situations.
Work Methodology
From the moment THE APPLE BOX receives an order, the commercial department works hand in hand with the client and the design, engineering and production departments. Each case is analyzed and worked together to form the best possible solution in both time and money

What are the advantages of prefab construction?
They are in itself much more customizable. Typically, buyers can choose from a variety of basic models and then like a layman to decide whether they want additional floors, extra rooms, extensions or balconies. We also offer the flexibility to carry out an extension over the years, which does not imply resorting to us for the extension. Another clear advantage is that a modular construction is much faster to finish. total construction time is cut in half compared to construction by traditional methods.
​
change city, don't forget your home
Modular installations also have the advantage of being able to be relocated and reused. On all occasions and if the orography allows it, the prefabricated modules can be reinstalled in a different location, which avoids having to manufacture a new structure with its corresponding consumption of resources and environmental impact. This circumstance is impossible with traditional construction.

Is there a luxury modular home?
Initially, the modular home market trend was associated with low-cost housing, but times are changing and we have seen the potential for a luxury modular building model. Because houses are so customizable, there are many opportunities to add character and individuality to a home by creating your own unique home. Dreaming from scratch, with total freedom in design and shape, you can enjoy all the luxury you want, from saunas and steam rooms to oversized staircases and magnificent architectural features. Another popular trend in modular home construction is creating tech-packed smart homes or green homes with low environmental impact .
