This modular prefab is a delicious display of architecture fashioned after a child’s simplistic design of a house, consistent with 5-lines, a rectangle and 2 squares. The reality of which fittingly looks out over Portugal’s Castle of Ourem; you know, just the things a child’s dream is made of. Continue reading →

Never have I seen a prefab farmhouse look as delightful as the Caravanserai house – located at the remote French Island in Victoria, AU, designed by Lai Cheong Brown. Continue reading →

Exteriorly crisp, interiorly clean, with a side of countryside and a splash of sea breeze – is what this modern modular home is made of. Continue reading →

We’ve seen plenty of prefabricated structures that go to great lengths to shed any and all evidence they were built assembly-line style in some far away warehouse. Some designers shy away from the inherent aesthetic of building modules that must be fit on the back of a flatbed truck. In steps this unique home in Melbourne, Australia, by Modscape. They’re not only not hiding the modular nature of their design, they are screaming PREFAB in the faces of anyone close enough for a visual whiff of what they’ve created. And it’s awesome.

ARKit is an architecture firm specializing in prefabricated design and factory built structures. This beautiful prefab home makes a magnificent use of modular construction resulting in a savvy modern beach house that you’d never guess was assembled in a factory hundreds of miles away.

It is a fantastic suburban dream home filled with interconnected open space and a stunning exterior garden that lends disbelief to the notion the home was largely build in a factory.

Model homes get a bad rap these days, and for good reason. Picking a house out of a catalog implies investing in a generic, cheaply conceived and constructed structure that is far from a sniff of architectural inventiveness. The Subline House from Swedish designer Gotenhaus aims to prove that convention wrong by offering a contemporary, modular kit of parts that can be configured based on site, budget, and personal preference. Continue reading →

The Tucker House is an ecological experiment thought up by three friends who wished to build a modern home on a difficult site with undeterred environmental sensibility. Architect ARKit took the components of this experiment and manifested them in a stunning prefabricated design that met all of their clients needs. Continue reading →

Redesigned by Modscape, these seasoned designers hand carved a hangout for the family of four who live there, bringing fresh life to, well …a bunch of modular boxes. Continue reading →
