Best Modern Prefab: Mod.Fab by students of Taliesin West, Victor Sidy, and TreeHugger fave Jennifer Siegal
What can I say other than I am completely embarrassed that I never posted on this gem, located in Arizona. Besides its stunning good looks, it presses all of my buttons:
"The Taliesin Mod.Fab is an example of simple, elegant, and sustainable living in the desert. The one-bedroom, 600-square-foot prototype residence relies on panelized construction to allow for speed and economy on site or in a factory. It can be connected to utilities or be 'unplugged,' relying on low-consumption fixtures, rainwater harvesting, greywater re-use, natural ventilation, solar orientation, and photovoltaics to reduce energy and water use. The structure is dimensioned and engineered to be transportable via roadway."
And did I mention it's also gorgeous?
