SEOUL, KOREA - Kase Sogo, the Japanese builder in modular houses, will enter the Korean market by establishing a local company Kase Co. The company will work with G.S. Architects & Associates as a local partner to build modular homes appropriate for local conditions.
Kase Co. will build model houses near temples in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province for promotion purposes. As modular houses are built with prefabricated materials on standardized steel-frame structures, they can be completed within a few days. The homes can be customized according to the homeowner's specifications.
A Kase Co. official said, "Given the trend in Korea toward nuclear families and more convenience and efficiency in home building, we are certain the demand for modular homes will rise in the near future."
