Prefab Houses - By MHM Contributing Staff on Wednesday, September 9, 2009 - 0 Comments
Aperture House
Aperture House is an idea cooked up by Realtor.com mogul Roger Scommegna and his partner architecture firm, Vetter Denk Architects. As the story goes the inspiration was an inexpensive screw top bottle of wine, a simple exterior with a surprisingly pleasant inside.
As the shell was assembled in 48 hours, Aperture House is intended to show off prefabrication as affordable style, and to diminish the stigma of prefab houses.
To keep down costs Vettern Denk uses concrete floors (area rugs ad comfort), sliding glass doors rather than floor-to-ceiling windows, and MDF in the walls, doors and cabinets.
As a production model the aim is to get the pricing down under $200,000, Scommengna wants to mass produce the design for delivery to the suburbs. Read post in Dwell.
