What is Pre-fab you ask? "Prefab" is the word used to describe homes that are manufactured off-site in advance, then shipped and assembled ons-ite. Now, I know, you are thinking why are we writing about trailers or those pre-built homes you see being carted on trucks on the freeway. Fret not; today's pre-fab homes are sleek, modern and luxurious. So for any of you with a hip outlook on design, a predilection for environmentally-friendly building, and a spend-thrift demeanor, sit back and enjoy: Not only are these prefab homes eco-friendly and extremely cost-effective, they'll satiate your inner design geek as well:
The above prefab home, the Arado, is a design by weeHouses. This 336 square foot getaway was constructed for a Minnesota Orchestra violinist and her family for the bargain price of $60k.
Below, the interior of the Arado, a perfect modern living space.

Above is the K1 module and below is the K4 module by Kithaus. Want to mix and match modules to make a larger prefab dwelling? Well you can! Also, the modules incorporate solar energy technology. Can you say green?

Above and below: The LV series homes by the queen of prefab, architect Rocio Romero. A cool fact: you can stack these modules to create a modern two-story dwelling. Customize to your heart's desire.

“ I love these Pre-Fab homes... My only wish would be to have an eco-friendly one surrounded by a moat. Those folk back in the day had it right.--except for a lake with a glass bottom in the center..... ”
