The COMMOD HOUSE story – what’s the matter with modular

When Michaela and Gerald founded COMMOD HOUSE, they were real visionaries. “We knew that we could make an impact and we could make a change in the building sector”. And they did.

We are super proud that Michaela got interviewed by Karl Dickinson, editor of the CityChangers platform. The website is a place to get inspired, learn, share ideas and knowledge, and connect with the world’s most inspiring urban change-makers.

„Flexible modular housing promises better quality, environmentally responsible housing that moulds to our changing needs. Aside from the freedom COMMOD’s portability offers, integrated collaboration from the design stage to the finished product provides us with the chance to create interesting and purposeful buildings. And while technological advancements might provide fun tweaks, Michaela Maresch makes a valid point: our houses should be self-regulating, comfortable, and homely regardless of what we do or when and where we do it. It’s a valid lesson for architects and city planners alike.“
