This week in Prefab

April 21, 2008

The Jeriko House.

This really is minimalist modern in a large package. The Jeriko House has really clean lines, and full cadre of possible layouts and configurations. It’s really a beautiful design, though maybe a bit too much of a throwback to mid-century modern for me.

Man I love the possibilities of greenliness, customizability, and reproduction of modern prefab…

It seems, more and more that eco-friendly and sustainable design is at the heart of this movement. I just hope it bleeds out from downtown lofts into first ring suburbs and non-commercial areas of the city…

So I thought this was interesting and devastating. I don’t know why, but I really don’t like the idea that all the organic brands are coming from the Conagra’s and Heinz’s of the world…

Most days, I could get away with never getting on the highway…This seems ideal minus the safety factor of needing to have the kids in the backseat pushed up against the back window…

For under 15,000 it’s a pretty sweet deal especially since it claims to run on about $210 of electricity a year…
