Royal Homes is a major manufacturer of modular homes in Canada. Back in 2005, the company commissioned Kohn Shnier Architects to design the Royal Q modular: ...six hundred and twenty square feet of efficient, modern design with two bedrooms, tons of storage, all of the necessities and a few of the niceties of life... Royal Homes completed construction on the larger Royal Q Muskoka (pictured above) in July of last year. From Treehugger: The building is essentially a sixteen foot deep wall; ... the maximum width that can go down the road, and Martin Kohn took advantage of this to create the thin, long structure.... model: Royal Q 1

Unfortunately once people could afford land they did not want such a small prefab, and we could not export to the States where there was demand. An architectural patron who loved the idea came to us to do a larger, custom version which is what you see. So it is most definitely not a Q1, which I have linked to in the url. This is, however, a great project and the culmination of my prefab career.
after 5 years of trying to sell modern prefab I find blogging for a living less difficult.
The model pictured above is the Royal Q Muskoka. I added a note to the post saying that. The Royal Homes site lists the Muskoka as part of the Royal Q series, while being a custom version. In addition to your link, the Royal Q1 has its own page at the Royal Homes site.
The Muskoka is a great project. Congrats on such a great addition to the prefab arena!!
