FINAL MODULE FOR EUROPE’S TALLEST MODULAR TOWER
The final module has been lowered into place at the 29-story Apex House in the Wembley part of London, marking a milestone for what is now Europe's tallest modular structure, World Architecture News reports. The building consists of 629 modules and will serve as student housing. Apex House is the fourth Wembley modular project developed by Tide Construction and Vision Modular Systems and designed by HTA Design LLP. Tide CEO Christy Hayes observed modular construction is much faster than traditional methods, provides design flexibility and does not compromise quality. HTA tells ELEVATOR WORLD the building is being outfitted with three 13-passenger, 2-mps Orona lifts.
