When a prefab home or building solution is required it can kick a design-oriented mind into high gear – the search for a visually appealing yet functional solution can be incredibly motivating. These creative designers are no exception. Prefabrication, modularity and portability also translate well into the world of furniture design, where versatile kit-based and flat-pack products can be more easily made and sustainably shipped.

Prefab is becoming a major buzz word in the world of contemporary architectural design. Prefabricated and flat-pack homes, buildings and furniture represent the possibilities of partial mass production and extreme portability fused into aesthetically awesome finished products. The challenge is to combine the need for mobility and sustainability with a building design that appeals to clients and overcomes potentially negative stereotypes (such as shoddy workmanship or poor design) that are conventionally associated with prefab.

I really, really like some of these designs. The more they look like a normal, or even an ultra-modern house – as opposed to a trailer or ship storage container – the more marketable they are going to be. I also found instances where “green” prefab homes are being advertised: http://www.bluhomes.com for example. Couple the current recession with the current consumer attraction to everything green, and you’ve got another great selling point.

Love the idea whose time has come around again….anyone remember (or at least heard of ) the Sears catalogue houses from the 50’s ? We need to scale down the size of our living qtrs…save our natural resources for sure! check out greenpoddevelopment.com – same thing only different designs for folks up in pacific northwest.
