CA Boom Prefab: Jennifer Siegel

Design & Architecture (prefab)

We have followed Jennifer Siegel for years, since her 2003 Seatrain House, still the best shipping container house we have seen, through her show house (shown being installed above) her Swell House, non residential with her sustainable portables, the Takehome series of affordable designs not to mention numerous side trips through her monthly publication, Materials Monthly. Was there ever a more prolific supplier of great ideas for TreeHugger posts? Jennifer has consistently been at the head of the curve of prefab modern and sustainability, always producing something innovative and new, so we expect great things at CA boom.
