You wanted more photos of the The Dwell NextHouse: Silicon Valley? You've got 'em. Jump below for a few pics of what we saw yesterday at the Dwell prefab home in Mountain View.
Sneak Peek: The Dwell NextHouse: Silicon Valley
Three years in the making (although the actual building only took about six months), the house is full of light and space. It's comfortable, clean, and modern. There are windows everywhere, and with the 21-foot retractable wall of glass leading from the living room and dining room to the courtyard deck, it's hard to tell where indoors ends and outdoors begins.
The three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom home's just about as sustainable as you can get on a budget.
We love the cork floors in the kids' bathroom and laundry room.
And Kohler's Hatbox Toilet in the tiny powder room.
And the mix of high and low. The kitchen includes IKEA kitchen cabinets, CaesarStone countertops, and Ann Sacks tiles. What appear to be built-in bookcases are actually IKEA EXPEDIT set into a niche.
Staged with furniture and accessories provided by Branch, CITIZEN:Citizen, Design Public, Semigood, Staach, and Zinc Details, the house is comfortable, clean, and modern.
We're pretty sure that Mark and Ellen and their kids are going to be very happy when they move in after all the commotion is over. And they're going to throw some great parties in this house.

It's very nice, but it's not Prefab - This house was assembled from a kit of pre-cut parts.

yay! i just drove to 850 California, the address on my ticket it's a parking lot, so i'm still wondering where it's located. i hope there will be directions from the parking lot tomorrow.

This NextHouse IS absolutely a prefab! The house is made from pre-built panels that were manufactured in a factory, flat-packed, and erected on-site. The roof and floor trusses were built in the same factory and also erected on-site.

There's a shuttle from the parking lot -- or it's a short walk.

What I particularly love about this house is the mix of price points in products. Although most of us drool over pictures of green homes in magazines a lot of them are too expensive to become mainstream. Although this won't do that it at least shows how to combine different elements.
