The world of prefab and modular homes. |

materialicio.us covered the Joshua Tree prefab:
steel skinned prefab with a wooden interior described as a ‘mountain refuge’, presented at the recent Milan Furniture Fair.
A number of blogs covered the EvolutiV House. Archinect saw it first. MoCo Loco picked up the trail. Treehugger added some details:
The 70 square meter Maison evolutiV was shown at the Salon Européen du bois et de l'Habitat Durable in April....
It is a low consumption modular wood home, ...composed of 2 prefabricated units...
materialicio.us saw the home. And Inhabitat's Prefab Friday liked the home enough to feature it:
The beauty of this design lies in its chestnut façade and inviting floor plan, but also in its small ecological footprint.
Treehugger wrote about a series of prefabs from Swedish company Next House (no relation to 
Empyrean International's NextHouse). We'll cover those in more detail down the line.
Jetson Green, in conjunction with PrairieMod, visited MKD's mkSolaire at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry. We'll cover the unveiling in more detail soon.
We missed last week, so here is two weeks of prefab news.
Jetson Green found three promotional videos of MKD homes from the MKD blog. One is included below:
Curbed LA shared details of a new prefab rental built by Sander Architects:
...this one-bedroom, one-bath, 1,000 square foot rental is described as being a "stunning new 'green' loft on a tree-lined cul-de-sac in a beautiful residential neighborhood just blocks from downtown Culver City, Sony Studios, Helms District, and Hayden Tract...Cost: $2,300 per month.
materialicio.us wrote about the Prebuilt Mod House Range:
...for those who like their homes clean and crisp with a modernist edge. These finely detailed, timber clad pavilions are based on a modular system offering the ultimate in flexibility...
Inhabitat's Prefab Friday covered a prefab cabin two weeks ago:
...the Clara Cabin from hiveMODULAR is a perfect solution. You get all the comforts of cabin life - a bed, reprieve from the bugs, and weather - while still being able to connect to the surrounding nature.
This week, Prefab Friday looked at a Swedish prefab:
...the Plus House embraces its Nordic roots and rural setting as a thoroughly modern take on the Swedish barn house.
Hive Modular sent out an email update and shared a Picasa page which shows many of their more recent designs.

Treehugger covered an aluminum prefab idea from Japan:
...an aluminum structural system that also works as a radiator for heat, and a conduit for electrical and plumbing.
Treehugger also linked to Greg LaVardera's post on prefab in Sweden.
Metro Hippie wrote about Lazor Office's Flatpak House.
Inhabitat's Prefab Friday looked at a container home in San Francisco:
...there isn’t a shortage of uses for containers as shelter, especially for those who like that super industrial architecture aesthetic. Leger Wanaselja Architecture finished their Container House at the close of last year, bringing a more traditional look to the container composed residence.
