This week in Prefab: MK Again, Sunset Breezehouse

  July 22, 2008

 

In addition to being an Apple Fanboy, I’ve now become a Michelle Kaufmann fanboy.

 

I wish I could find a plot here in the city, and order up one of these beauties. The Sunset Breezehouse is exactly what you’d imagine: A place for the breeze to flow. 

Outdoor/Indoor living are seamless in this model. There’s literally a glass door, an entire wall of glass doors or clearstory windows in every room…even in the bathroom in some models…could be dicey. Outdoor living space with decks and verandas built right into the plan are also included. 

The prefab/modular nature means you can also build to suit your needs. just add another section as needed. MKD also uses sustainable materials as available and factory building processes. Rather than workers driving to a buildsite everyday…and delivering materials to the worksite everyday…everything goes in bulk to the factory where it’s built assembly line style…it’s the IKEA model…reduce transportation and material waste and drastically reduce the build time as well. Good for you, good for the environment…

Next week, we’ll check out the SwellHouse from the Office of Mobile Design.
