NRB Modular (formerly known as Horizon North) has designed and built over 1,500 units of modular supportive housing for the Modular Rapid Response to Homelessness program in BC Canada.
A repetitive, scalable approach has been developed with a proven baseline design. With standard modules, a kit of parts, and detailed specifications guideline. We maintain standardised modular building layouts to provide repetitive work and economies of scale, resulting in fast-tracked design-development, consulting, municipal permitting timelines and construction.
The modular units address an immediate need for the homeless population. Typical units consist of 250-sq.ft self-contained studios, and the buildings have common amenity areas. The buildings are placed on a relocatable foundation, so the buildings can be moved to future sites.
