We saw this story over at Treehugger and thought it warranted some closer investigation. Los Angeles architects and builders Marmol Radziner have just launched a new line of modular prefabs built in their own factory. Treehugger says they are "possibly the most beautiful prefabricated building this side of the Pacific. "
The units are solar powered and use the thermal mass of the concrete floors to retain heat. The steel frame is made of recyclable material and is a more sustainable building material than wood (so as to cut down on the cutting down of wood).
