For many, the idea of prefab housing may bring to mind trailers and other less desirable images of home life. But this idea couldn't be more wrong! Rather, the newest trends in prefab have emerged as a great way for a design- (and cost-) conscious generation to achieve the dream of home ownership. Today, prefab houses are manufactured to the highest standards of construction and aesthetics. And with the internet, these houses can be ordered from all over the world--affording people everywhere the opportunity to acquire an affordable home of distinction. Prefab Modern explores the best prefabricated houses on the market today, from all over the world along with a resource directory on how you can purchase them. Included are case studies from all over the US and around the world, from top architects and designers. Prefab is the inevitable next step to "cool" housing as the market looks for reasonably priced housing for first and second homes. Prefab Houses Designsource is the perfect guide to this undeniable and fascinating trend.

At the end of the Second World War Winston Churchill promised to manufacture half a million prefabricated bungalows to ease the housing shortage; in the end more than 156,000 temporary 'prefabs' were delivered. Nicknamed 'Palaces for the People', and with convenient kitchens, bathrooms and heating systems, they proved popular and instead of being demolished as intended they were defended by residents who campaigned to keep their family homes and communities. Nearly seventy years later, as the last of these two bedroom homes are being demolished, Elisabeth Blanchet tells the story of these popular dwellings and their gardens and shows the various designs that were produced. Through the stories and memories of residents, she also reveals the communities who were pleased to live in the prefabs.

A guide to how prefabrication can assist those looking to build an energy-efficient home that won’t break the bank. Prefabulous and Sustainable dispels the negative myths associated with prefab homes and shows the reader how beautiful and remarkably green these homes can be. In this unique, hands-on guide for homebuilders, author Sheri Koones showcases twenty-five examples of how factory-built homes can be greener, more efficient, sturdier, and even more cost-effective than site-built homes. This practical manual gives you all the tools needed to customize a sustainable, prefab home at an affordable price. Koones outlines the materials, strategies, and systems used to create a sustainable living environment. Stunning photography and user-friendly floor plans and resource guides prove that green living is not as complicated as one might think—and is attainable for everyone. Praise for Prefabulous + Sustainable “Authoritative and beautiful. Once again, Koones builds her case for pre-fab thoroughly, and presents it in a compelling, well-organized package.” —Allen Norwood, NAREE Book Competition Head Judge “[Prefabulous + Sustainable] will soon become required reading for anyone interested in quality housing for the twenty-first century.” —Bob Berkebile, Fellow of the American Institute of Architects

Prefabricated architecture is turning into one of the most important trends in the world of contemporary design. Architects and designers the world over have started to reinvent the prefabricated house, using new materials and construction techniques - such as shipping containers - which are easy to transport and construct, and can be installed in often surprising locations. Prefabricated houses also offer new ecological solutions and improved sustainability compared with traditional building systems, since they represent a more effective use of resources and a reduction in construction time. This superbly illustrated book presents prefabricated housing projects made from wood, recycled materials and recycled containers, all of which include step-by-step photographs and building plans along with assembly details.
