DuoHaus will provide temporary living to more people and greater flexibility to local authorities in supporting those in need of homes. DuoHaus are relocatable, easy to install and secure, with a high-quality finish throughout. They are designed to Future Homes Standards and exceed building regulations for energy efficiency and sound insulation. These impressive features have led to increasing demand for Solohaus from local authorities across the UK in their efforts to support people in need of follow on accommodation. Hill is confident that DuoHaus will have a similar impact, enabling more to be achieved on the crucial issue of addressing homelessness.

Andy Hill, Chief Executive at The Hill Group commented: "With the launch of DuoHaus we are expanding the options that local authorities have available to them in supporting some of the most vulnerable people in society. In developing this technology we have learned that allowing people to have somewhere to live with dignity while they rebuild their lives is a crucial part of their journey, and with this new product couples who are affected by lack of housing supply will be able to co-habit as they begin that process."
The DuoHaus units are specially manufactured and fitted out for two people to move into straight away, arriving fully equipped with all necessary furniture, cutlery, white goods and bedding. The homes have a well-considered layout, abundant natural light, good storage, and have been designed with the help of leading homelessness charities and stakeholder groups to ensure they are secure and practical. Importantly, the homes are also highly efficient, with low energy costs arranged via a pay-as-you-go meter.
DuoHaus units are manufactured by Volumetric Modular from their two factories located in the West Midlands. Fabrication can take just 10 days and on-site installation can be even swifter, making the units ideal for addressing immediate accommodation issues.
