The prefabricated pilot zones allow municipalities to test modular housing in real conditions: agile regulations, social impact assessment, and sustainability metrics. These urban laboratories accelerate decisions on affordable housing, climate resilience, and mixed uses (tourism, coworking, community services).

Key benefits:

  • Regulatory validation — fast-track permits and temporary ordinances.
  • Real data — energy consumption, mobility, and neighborhood acceptance.
  • Replicability — standardized models for scaling in other plots.
  • Local economy — micro-factories and regional employment.

Priority use cases:

  • Modular social housing for rapid response.
  • Micro-hospitality and coworking in pilot plots.
  • Rehabilitation projects with insertable modules. 
Prefabricated Houses for Mixed Uses: coworking, tourism, and micro-hospitality that generate income.
Reusable modules, seasonal rotation, and immediate profitability for developers and owners.
