La maison en bois BBC pour les auto constructeurs. La maison en bois à la portée de tous. Et si la maison en bois détrônait la maison en parpaing ? Le suédois Next House, sorte d'Ikea de la maison en bois, proposera dès cet automne un catalogue de dix modèles contemporains prêts à habiter, à un prix défiant toute concurrence : moins de 100 000 € HT pour 95 m2 avec terrasses (ce prix ne comprend pas le terrain, la TVA, le transport et le montage). Son secret ? Une livraison en kit, les maisons étant préfabriquées en Suède avant d'être transportées par camion et assemblées sur place en quelques jours par une équipe dédiée. Il faut dire que le marché français est une aubaine pour le constructeur scandinave : ici, les maisons à ossature bois (MOB) représentent à peine 7 % des constructions, contre 30 % en Allemagne et 90 % aux États-Unis. 1/3 des ménages intéressés par les maisons en bois Assemblée comme un Lego Le marché français de la maison en bois peine à s'adapter à cette nouvelle demande.
Une architecture différente. Montainer Shipping Container Homes Ready to Order. The Missoula, Montana bases company Montainer has begun selling the first prefabricated model of the shipping container homes they offer. The Nomad 192, as the home is called, can be purchased though their website, while the company plans to expand their offerings in 2015 with several other models, which can already be preordered. The company uses recycled shipping containers to build these prefabricated, or modular homes, which are unique, modern and sustainable and are collectively known as Montainers. The Nomad 192 is made from a single 24-foot high cube shipping container, meaning it has a higher ceiling than standard containers and measures 192 square-feet. Inside it, there is a fully functioning kitchen, a bathroom with a shower, a living area that doubles as a bedroom. The container also comes equipped with all the necessary appliances needed for comfortable living.

To celebrate the partnership's tenth year, we are pleased to announce a new exclusive collaboration: Dwell Prefab. This group of homes, the Axiom Series, offers a panelized system celebrating bold design, resource conservation, energy efficiency, and a predictable building process. Axiom Series homes start at $250 per square foot and never compromise on design, quality or construction. Bold Design A home should be beautiful to look at and a joy to live in. Each Axiom home reflects intuitively-designed living space and uncompromising attention to detail. Resource Conservation A home should use minimal material and energy to create. Energy Efficiency A home should consume very little energy. Predictability A home should be designed and built against predictable benchmarks. Prefab Spotlight: Turkel Design. How would you describe the state of prefab overall? It's inundated with architects who are trying to architecturalize the problem; they want the issue of prefab to be an architecture problem.
It's like the saying When you have a hammer in your hand, everything looks like a nail. It's much more about the delivery mechanism though: When you walk out the door as a consumer to buy a house, what are all the things required for you to turn the key in the door and walk into the house? The delivery mechanism included what it is, what it's made of, where you get it, who builds it.
Architecture is one important piece of the equation but not the whole piece. Our readers want prefab architecture to equal inexpensive architecture. It's an understandable desire but also makes no sense when you look at market size. People want it to be cheap because it's manufactured but they have a tough time facing the fact that prefab houses are really cheap; they're called mobile homes. Small, Green, and Mighty: Hurricane-Proof Prefab.
When it comes to building sustainably, it requires more than slapping a solar array on a house. Cubicco—a Dutch prefab company that opened an office and a manufacturing facility in Miami, Florida, in August 2013—takes a holistic approach to responsible residential architecture. “We ought to construct homes that are built around social and environmental needs with a design that’s beautiful, functional, and within reach,” Randy Riteco, Cubicco’s founder, says. Structural resiliency and longevity were of paramount importance to Riteco. To that end, Cubicco’s prefabs can withstand Category 5 hurricanes, extreme heat and cold, ten-foot snow loads, and earthquakes (when paired with a strong foundation). “Living and working in the Caribbean, I have been through the worst situations Mother Nature can bestow upon us—I’ve seen houses lost in minutes,” says Owen Healy, a partner at Cubicco. ViVood: Tiny Pop-Up Wooden Home From Spain Comes With Built-in Solar Panels.
A group of Spanish architects and engineers joined forces to create ViVood - a tiny wooden prefab home. Developed by Daniel Mayo Pardo, this little energy-efficient shelter comes complete with integrated solar panels. The modular home is made from pine wood, and it can be adapted to different sizes, landscapes and needs. ViVood was designed and manufactured in Spain using local materials and labor. Its technologically advanced design allows for easy mass production, and therefore lower costs. The energy-efficient home uses both passive and active strategies to reduce its footprint. . + ViVood Via Plataforma Arquitectura Photos by ViVood.

Cabanas no Rio by Aires Mateus. Lisbon studio Aires Mateus used only reclaimed timber to construct this pair of waterfront cabins in Grândola, Portugal (+ slideshow). Named Cabanas no Rio, which translates as cabins on the river, the two rustic structures offer a rural retreat for a pair of inhabitants. One hut contains a living area, with a simple counter that can be used for preparing food, while the other accommodates a bedroom with a small toilet and sheltered outdoor shower. Architects Aires Mateus used recycled wooden panels to build the walls, floors, roof and fittings of the two structures, leaving the material exposed both inside and out. The edge of the roof sits flush with the walls, plus the wood is expected to change colour as it exposed to the weather.
"The wharf is medieval and assembled with wood," said the architects, explaining their material choice. With a combined area of just 26 square metres, the cabins were both built off-site and transported to the site on the back of a lorry. Cabanas no Rio. An Economical Modular Prefab in Oregon. Bronx Box « Resolution: 4 Architecture. Completion Date: 2008 Size: 1,816 sf Typology Series: Single Bar Modules: 2 Boxes, Panelized Saddlebag & Stair Bulkhead Program: Bedrooms: 2 Baths: 2.5 Features: Roof Deck, Balcony Deck Materials: Exterior: Galvalume Metal Roof, Cement Board, Cedar Siding, Ipe Wood Decking Interior: Maple Cabinets, Bamboo Floors, Slate Bathroom Floors, Caesarstone Countertops Project Description: This urban infill prefab is located at the foot of the Throgs Neck Bridge on Eastchester Bay in the Bronx.
The Bronx Box is a modified version of the double-decker, 2-story bar typology with an additional storage ‘saddle bag’, containing built in cabinets along the length of the house. Given the narrow lot, the design aims to celebrate the constraints of its zoning envelope; the site’s set backs, height limitations, and flood plain requirements yield a compact footprint while still featuring off-street parking, a small patch of green, and an expansive roof deck with stunning views of the bay beyond. A Compact Prefab Vacation Home. Every summer for over a decade, Andrew and Shiree Morrison have journeyed to Onemana, a coastal town on New Zealand’s North Island. They used to stay in a small trailer, often fantasizing about building a house on their sloping plot of land but always coming up short on the amount of money needed to get a project underway. So their longtime friend, builder John Cocks, suggested an unconventional solution to obtaining a custom home within their budget: collaborating with architecture students.
The topography proved challenging so the designers elevated the house on piers. At Auckland’s Unitec Institute of Technology, Dave Strachan leads a program called Studio 19. The year- long class guides students through every step of a real-world architectural project, from client brief to full-scale build. He modeled the program after Studio 804, out of the University of Kansas, and Auburn University’s Rural Studio, which he greatly admires. “Ours is a Kiwi version of that,” Strachan says. Commod house.
