Hi, I have a question. Why do you need the concrete stilts ? Are theses a prerequsite or can you have your house without or at your own desired height or not at all?

They have done a very attractive job with both the unit and the location. However, we need homes of similar size, but at more economical prices. Our concern is providing housing for needy low income people. I would like tro see more designers come forward with lower cost ideas. There is also still the concern of finding space to put these homes.

The Dwell and Flatpak homes are very cool, but they’re really expensive, as you note. I have to wonder whether certain modular, and prefabricated components (walls, roofs, etc.) would be more cost effective to fabricate off site and assemble on site.

There is plenty of prefab architecture here in the states, they’re called mobile homes. For something more modern, check out some of the “dwell homes,” one example being the “flatpak” house by Charles Lazor of BluDot. Has the Loblolly house made it on Inhabitat yet? It was featured in a book called “Refabricating Architecture.” A good enough read. I love how it is a racheted snap together frame. Still pricey compared to traditional construction though. But a great project. When will this stuff be cheap though?

That might work in the US were it available in a double wide.

“Even after being converted to US dollars it is relatively cheap.
When compared to many modernist prefabs.”

The problem though might be to transport the darn thing here on our shores,i might ended up being just as expensive as our stuff but it is definitely nice.It remind me of the Tracy’s home in the old THUNDERBIRDS British tv series.

Is it a prerequisite for pre-fabs to be furnished with modern furniture and accesories? I’d like to see this outfitted with faux bearskin rugs, velvet smoking chairs, and deep rich colors. That would be a nice change. The layout is great though, good stuff!
