At UNIT, design allure meets industrial efficiency.
Our mission is to eliminate the systemic unpredictability, disruption, and prolonged timelines of conventional building. The UNIT philosophy is built on a human-centered approach to contemporary living, where architectural precision, focused on purity of form and meticulous detailing, redefines the concept of home.
UNIT operates as an innovation platform developing comprehensive living solutions designed in direct response to contemporary challenges.
We design and deploy distinct construction systems — ranging from the high-tech structural performance of cross-laminated timber (CLT) to engineered high-durability cladding systems such as Thermowood, through to circular economy strategies and the adaptive reuse of transport and commercial structures. We present a portfolio of products, each engineered to deliver a precise response to a specific need, geographic setting, material specification, and architectural program.
We design around the human scale and the lived experience.
Each UNIT product stems from rigorous methodology and design, dedicated to addressing specific functional demands. Technical precision, however, seamlessly coexists with design sensibility: every formal decision, proportion, and material selection communicates directly with the senses, cultivating an intimate connection with the inhabited space.
Our expertise resides in detailing and formal restraint. We regard design not as mere ornamentation, but as a strategic asset that generates tangible value. Precise architectural design streamlines manufacturing, eliminates waste, maximizes spatial efficiency, and delivers timeless architecture marked by high durability and long-term capital appreciation.
UNIT delivers a construction timeline designed to overcome the systemic vulnerabilities of conventional building methods, which are chronically burdened by bureaucratic hurdles and operational friction.
By structuring architectural design into standardized, rigorously tested modular matrices, the transition from concept to production is reduced to an absolute minimum.
The standardized parameterization of our building systems ensures rigorous technical predictability, expediting approval processes with regulatory agencies.
Controlled factory manufacturing mitigates weather, operational, and logistical delays, delivering pinpoint timeline compliance and complete protection against budget overruns.
Error-free production, eliminating traditional on-site construction variances and ensuring seamless compatibility across all components.
Fixed costs and delivery timelines locked in from day one, safeguarding the investment against contingencies and cost overruns.
High-performance engineering built to last for generations, guaranteeing an extended service life with reduced maintenance requirements.
Zero waste across the production line via millimeter-accurate cutting, deploying circular, high-performance materials engineered for superior thermal efficiency and passive acoustic control.
Creative Direction
Led by the creative direction of founding partner Francisco Salgado Ré, UNIT draws on a proven track record in architecture and design. His approach combines professional rigor, ecological responsibility, streamlined construction processes, and a forward-looking vision for modern living, empowering UNIT to lead innovation in the modular prefabrication sector.
Collaborative Network
Multidisciplinary collaboration drives the precision of our projects. By combining state-of-the-art manufacturing with skilled craftsmanship and specialized partners, UNIT delivers a fully integrated service ecosystem. This turnkey capability covers freight and transport logistics, municipal permitting and feasibility studies, landscape design, interiors, and comprehensive brand communication.
