The world of prefab and modular homes. |
|
The Los Angeles Times recently covered a prefab house being built by students from Santa Clara University and California College of the Arts.
model: Refract House
size: 800 sf
According to a video (5:48) on their site, the house is constructed from 3 modules arranged in a u-shape.
Refract House will be on display this October at the National Mall in Washington, DC as part of the U.S. Department of Energy's Solar Decathlon.
The Solar Decathlon joins 20 college and university teams in a competition to design, build, and operate the most attractive and energy-efficient solar-powered house.
