apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

perfect!

Thank you for the link. How exciting. I really hope one day in the fureture these pefab homes are affordable enough for the general public.

Crazy!

That's fun. I want one. :)

if I were going to build a house, this is the way I'd go.

I'd love to know where the house was moved to, since the bay area is so densely built that I can't imagine being able to have one of these except for demolishing an existing house.

I want the blue flame semi truck!

I want this for a guesthouse/poolhouse.

You're kidding me right? This is nothing but an overpriced trailer.

Modular homes are actually a lot more cost-efficient than building a home onsite. There is a better end result as well, since the modules are built indoors without exposure to the elements.

(Forgive me, my dad owns a construction company and builds modular homes. Though I do cringe to see that module on the truck unprotected.)

A little FYI: Christopher Deam is married to Lara Hedborg Deam, the founder of Dwell magazine...

It looks like a less awesome version of the MiniHouse that TreeHugger featured a few years ago. The MiniHouse is attractive, modular, and priced within reach of people who don't live in Dwell houses. It can even be set up to be completely off-grid, so I fantasize about buying a little plot of land in the wilderness and plopping one down. http://www.sustain.ca/
