A Beautiful Prefab House
Prefab houses are becoming more common in Europe, where natural resources and labor is inhibitive in terms of cost.
But many designers and architects are working on energy-saving prefab homes as part of a green effort, since electricity is another high cost expense.
MDesign has come out with a patented Mcube modular prefab system that not only looks great, but is flexible, solar-powered, and stunningly affordable housing option that exemplifies the benefits of prefabricated building.
According to Inhabit:
The system is based on a translucent 10′-cube module which can be stacked in multiple floors and units for residential and commercial purposes. Made from concrete, steel, and luminous fiberglass daylighting wall panels, the system can be fully erected in 90 days at a cost starting at $100 per square foot! (Yes $100 a foot!). Considering how expensive most sleek SoCal prefab systems seem to be - this is a price tag that really got our attention.
If you check out the website, you can see how beautiful the units look, you would not expect it to be prefab, much less cheap. There are also photos showing the different stages of erection, as a testament of how it can be completed in 90 days.
