Prefabricated houses were in fact a major part of the British government’s plan to address the UK's public housing shortage after World War II. Between 1945 and 1951, an estimated 1.2 million new prefab houses were constructed. A number of these structures still survive, which is a testament to the durability and longevity that prefab housing can offer.

Today, new modern prefab and modular homes not only meet housing demands, but also make strong architectural statements with their streamlined designs and eco-friendly construction methods. Here, we take a look at seven modern prefab homes in the UK.
