GH Modular Living System is a research and planning project for developing standard unit plans for high-rise modular housing. The project responds to the limitations of conventional modular housing, such as rigid layouts, repetitive stacking, short life cycles, project-specific solutions, and provider-oriented planning. Instead, it proposes a flexible housing system that balances mass production with adaptability, long-term maintenance, and changing user needs.

The design strategy is based on a component-based planning method. Fixed components, including the entrance, kitchen, bathroom, mechanical shaft, and laundry area, are integrated as service zones, while flexible components such as living rooms, bedrooms, balconies, façade elements, and built-in furniture can be selectively combined according to household size and lifestyle. This allows modular units to maintain standardized dimensions and construction efficiency while offering spatial variation and user customization.

Four standard unit types—29㎡, 39㎡, 48㎡, and 59㎡—are developed using a common structural grid and modular dimension of 3.3m × 12m × h 3.3m. Each type responds to different household profiles, from single-person households to families of two to four people. By combining service modules, living components, balcony components, and furniture systems, the project establishes a scalable framework for future high-rise modular housing that can support flexibility, efficiency, and improved residential quality.
