WoHo was founded by engineers and architects from MIT and Georgia Tech to rethink building construction using consistent, reusable components that can be manufactured in a factory and plugged together on site. Its components are designed to act as both structure and architectural element, offering greater flexibility than typical modular apartment blocks. A key technical focus is an improved reinforced cement intended to deliver better building quality at lower environmental cost. The company targets a range of projects from low- to high-rise buildings, with particular benefits for mid- to high-rise construction. WoHo has begun commercial traction through a partnership with LafargeHolcim and is building a demonstration project in Madrid while targeting a follow-on project in Boston next year. The team says the approach aims to lower construction costs, maximize architectural flexibility, and make projects greener.
