Mosaic Homes Display Centre

Additional Info

Award Winner : Metric Modular

Architectural Excellence : Britco’s design team worked with the client’s architect, interior designer and sales team to turn their vision into a factory-built reality. The building is a pre-construction sales centre that incorporates the main reception area, an office and meeting room as well as a model room incorporating a scale model of the residential development’s four high-rise buildings slated for the site. The sales centre uses materials and finishes, inside and out, that are identical in look and feel to those of the finished development. To help facilitate sales, exact full-scale replicas of the suites are built within the sales centre so the prospective buyer can get a true sense of the finished product before they buy.

Cost Energy Effectiveness : The concept is for the developer to use the sales centre until he sells out the project, thereby eliminating the need to site-build a display suite that would ultimately be demolished. The temporary building can be relocated and renovated for another development or sold and reused. The sales centre is designed, delivered and installed prior to commencement of the development construction, enabling the developer to pre-sell the units. The developer’s intention is to pre-sell 40% of the units before he commits significant financial resources to the project and the modular sales centre gives him that opportunity.

Technical Innovation : Three factory-built modules were used to provide the overall size required for the sales centre. A temporary pad and block wood foundation was used for a custom entry and a patio off the display suite. The building is fully heated and air conditioned using a heat pump and in-floor ducting combined with return and supply air ducting in the crawlspace to maximize the interior room height.
