M-AR TEAMS UP WITH HOMELESS CHARITY CENTREPOINT

Specialist offsite contractor www.m-ar.co.uk

M-AR is nearing completion on an ambitious new-build project in partnership with the UK’s leading youth homelessness charity, Centrepoint. The project’s goal was to create single-occupancy homes for young people experiencing homelessness in London – a first for the charity, which up until now has relied on refurbished accommodation. Working collaboratively with design consultant Modularize and the Centrepoint project team, M-AR manufactured 33 modular homes in its factory to create the new two-storey apartment building. The design features repeatable modular units that can easily be delivered on multiple sites –which means Centrepoint and M-AR will be able to replicate this model on future projects as the Independent Living Programme rolls out to other locations over the next five years. Each self-contained 21m 2 home has its own private access, a small functional kitchen, dining area and a bathroom as well as space to sleep and relax, making the units a comfortable home for young people to live independently.
