Arcon MKV Pre-fabricated house (printed)

The Arcon was the second most manufactured prefab, after the aluminium AIROH. 39,000 were manufactured and distributed across the UK. The Arcon was one of the shortlisted designs on display at the Tate Gallery (now Tate Britain) in July 1944. 2,500 components were needed, involving 145 manufacturers! Taylor Woodrow oversaw the production of Arcon prefab bungalows.

Arcon (Architectural Consultants) was a new type of research organisation, sponsored by several manufacturers with the aim of improving links between industry and architecture. Founded in 1943 by the architects Edric Neel, Rodney Thomas and Raglan Squire they were joined by Jack Howe the industrial designer. Jack’s daughter Susan contacted us and sent us photos of the Arcon and a floor plan. It has a tubular steel frame, designed by Ove Arup who had joined the government’s prefabrication committee in early 1944. Edric Neel had once worked for the Modernist architects Wells Coates and Denys Lasdun and before the war he had worked on the prefabrication of concrete housing for the Cement Association in Coventry. The Arcon partnership dissolved in 1967 and was absorbed into the Taylor Woodrow group, which later became Taylor Wimpey.
