New Houses: Compact & Prefab

The concept of the prefabricated house has long been reserved for dwellings of a humble nature; a last resort rather than a desirable place to live. However, as society has become more conscious of the need for environmentally friendly and cost effective housing, architects have responded by dramatically improving the technology and aesthetics of these types of constructions. Prefabulous Houses takes the reader on a journey through what can be achieved today in the field of prefabricated housing. Projects from some of the world's top architects in the field are accompanied by full-color photographs, floor plans and clear explanations providing anyone interested in this area, whether architects or future prefab residents, with a comprehensive selection of different possibilities.
