FAB HOUSE
TDO ARCHITECTURE
Fab House is a new modular constructed house typology designed
by TDO architecture, working in collaboration with George Clarke
for joint venture developers Places for People and Urban Splash.
It is the latest architect-designed house typology in the House by
Urban Splash portfolio.
In North Tyneside, a terrace of ten houses has been built on The
Plateau of Smith’s Dock in North Shields, the former site of a
thriving shipyard which has lay dormant for the past 30 years, and
is now being transformed into a vibrant new neighbourhood by
the joint venture.
Earlier precedents in the US portfolio include Town House,
designed by shedkm, a custom-build design whereby consumers
could select their own floorplan. The terrace of ten Fab Houses sits
in a masterplan alongside a crescent of 24 Town Houses and an 80-
unit apartment, the Smokehouses, designed by SimpsonHaugh,
which is still under construction.
It’s no secret that the UK is suffering a housing shortage.
