We admired the Minarc house by Tryggvi Thorsteinsson and Erla Dögg Ingjaldsdóttir when it was in Dwell;; now we learn that they are offering it in a prefab version. The designers (I'm not typing those names out again) have wanted to design a high-tech modern home that only used materials "in their most organic form and that used recycled materials wherever possible." (::land+living) They are offering three modular versions built from 2x6 walls, lots of insulation and radiant flooring. No information on pricing or geographical availability; Firm is based in Santa Monica, not Iceland. ::Minarc via ::Myninjaplease
