Prefabricated Homes Make a Comeback

Posted in Real Insights | September 23, 2008

Did you know that prefabricated housing is becoming popular again? High quality contemporary prefab homes can now possess the flair and durability of traditional housing. Computerized designs and innovative materials are behind this architectural revolution, replacing cookie-cutter forms and flimsy materials from prefab’s heyday after the Second World War. A new MoMa exhibit showcases prefab housing from its inception in the early 1800s to the present. It illustrates many of the features of today’s models, including open floor plans, energy efficiency and off-the-shelf components. Architects specializing in prefab homes now use sophisticated software to customize basic designs to meet customer’s unique specifications.
