# Modular Pre-Fab Apartments Meridian 105 Architecture 'Weave Housing' is Futuristic By Jordan M | Published 2011-02-07 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weave-housing-by-meridian-105-architecture References: [meridian105](http://www.meridian105.com/projects.html) Pre-fabricating construction is generally a more economical, eco-friendly, and expedient way to build new housing and Weave Housing by Meridian 105 Architecture is a perfect example of this technology being put to great use. The proposed project for Denver, Colorado involves extensive use of insulated concrete in order to create a passive eco-design apartment complex wherein individual units could be manufactured off-site and then lifted into place. This innovative approach to building using piece-meal components would greatly increase the building's sustainable footprint while also decreasing the amount of time needed to build the structure. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.3/10 - Activity: 2% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Modular Pre-fab Housing:** Developing cost-effective and eco-friendly pre-fabricated housing modules for faster and sustainable construction. - **Passive Eco-design:** Designing eco-friendly structures that use insulated concrete and other sustainable materials to create low-energy dwellings. - **Off-site Manufacturing:** Using component manufacturing and assembly methodologies at off-site locations for faster and more efficient construction. ### Who This Affects Most - **Construction:** Incorporating modular construction components and sustainable materials in the building industry. - **Real Estate:** Integrating eco-friendly and cost-effective housing solutions into the real estate market. - **Sustainable Development:** Researching and implementing sustainable development practices for construction and housing. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Prefab Timber Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-nests-treepod-project.md) - [Refreshing Sustainable Modular Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whidbey-puzzle-prefab.md) - [Modular Living Structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-bv-system.md) - [Climate-Responsive Prefab Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drop-pod.md) - [Futuristic Modular Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pebl-grand-cabin.md) - [Juxtaposing Traditionally Modular Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hihat-house.md) - [Sleek Fire-Resistant ADUs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tetraone.md) - [Low-Cost Modular Prototype Housing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/industrialized-building-system-prototype.md) - [Welcoming Prefabricated Student Housing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ignacio-prego-architectures.md)
