This beautiful prefab cabin serves as Jens Risom’s getaway home. It’s nestled among Bayberry fields on Block Island, a popular summer tourist destination, located approx. 13 miles south of the coast of Rhode Island.
Constructed from weathering wood and glass, this vacation home has been ordered by its owners from a catalog – already measured, cut and tailored at the factory – to be delivered by truck and tugboat to the remote island.
Although due to bad weather it took about 8 weeks to finish the house, the builder, who fitted together the prefabricated pieces, commented about the assembly process:
“a house just builds itself, and fast.”
With lots of glass and a few partitions, this prefab takes full advantage of natural light, air and its fabulous settings.
The entire second story consists of a sleeping loft, whereas the ground floor includes two bedrooms and bath and a double height open space with a kitchen/dining area and living room.
If you’re interested in this wonderful prefab project, take a look at the newly released video by Dwell – it’s pretty amazing.

The design is Flair by Stanmar Leisure Homes. The company is still around but no longer does these.
However, this architect is planning to bring back the plans … check out his site:

Would love to build this someday!
Nice design for a Google Office 😉
who is the manufacturer?
Unfortunately, I do not know who the manufacturer is, nor do we have access to this prefab plans…
The manufacturer is no longer in business. Lindal Cedar Homes makes a similar product and can customize to be like the one Jens Risom built.
what are the specificationsd? I want an artist studo approximate 24×24 with loft like ceilings, hot/cold water possible bath.
We live in a house very similar to this house for the past 29 years and love it. Our house is up for sale we are downsizing and moving south.
This is Jens Risom’s Prefab Weekend House
