CRATE Activate
Building community vibrancy
Our cargotecture inspired modular solution is for prominent sites needing to placemake for five-to-ten years as part of major multi-phase regeneration.
Our innovative design, with its permanent look and feel, has ‘lift and shift’ capability, meaning the building can be readily moved and redeployed to make way for the eventual redevelopment of the site. This solution can be used as a first intervention on large sites delivering strategic value over and above its return on investment. Alternatively, schemes can be left in situ for long-term value creation. This modular ‘one-box’ product is being future developed for residential purposes.
