The tallest modular construction apartment in Korea held its move-in ceremony on the 10th.

Gyeonggi Housing and Urban Corporation (GH) announced that the Yongin Yeongdeok Gyeonggi Happy Housing, completed with 13 floors?the tallest among modular construction houses in Korea?held its move-in ceremony on the same day.

According to current building codes, modular buildings with 13 floors or more must meet a fire resistance standard of at least 3 hours (the time they can withstand fire), and Yongin Yeongdeok Gyeonggi Happy Housing is the first modular housing to pass this standard.

The housing accommodates a total of 106 households, including 80 youth households, 22 elderly households, and 4 newlywed households. Since the 20th of last month, a total of 51 households have moved in so far.

At the move-in ceremony, GH President Kim Seyong and about 20 residents attended and held a Q&A session regarding questions and additional improvements about modular housing.

President Kim explained the advantages of modular construction, saying, "By utilizing recyclable steel structures, construction waste can be drastically reduced, which leads to carbon reduction effects and is very environmentally friendly. Since the method involves manufacturing in factories and assembling on-site, it also shortens construction periods and helps prevent safety accidents."

He also stated, "We are reviewing the supply of 25-floor modular housing," and promised, "We will do our best to present housing models that will be most helpful to those planning to own a home in the future."
