The mkSolaire has been designed to bring healthy living to the city. Designed by Michelle Kaufmann, known for smart, efficient prefab, this open, spacious, loft-like home has been created to offer healthy, clean and green city living and is perfect for an urban-infill lot, or anywhere, you may want a loft-like home. Through the use of strategically designed roofs and windows, this home is perfect for areas without open vistas and large lot sizes by sculpting light and air into the center of the home without loosing privacy.
The mkSolaire meets the Energy Star program standards for energy efficient homes and meets the performance standards of the American Lung Association Health House program. It is a high performance home that is insulated with an air-barrier, open cell foam insulation. All wood-to-wood framing joints are caulked, which makes the home airtight, energy efficient, and less likely to produce mold. It includes water-saving plumbing fixtures, on-demand water heaters, and a mechanical ventilation system that is 30% more efficient than typical forced-air systems.
Most important is it's look. It's an open, spacious plan while still maintaining an intimate feel. This is not a huge home that includes wasted space that is expensive to heat and cool. It's size is just right and it's pure modern with beautiful materials. Visit the web site for this and other MK designs.

Go modular with this expandable design. One room or a home. The MD 280 features a full kitchen, a separate bedroom, a living room and a bath. Ambient light is plentiful thanks to 9' floor-to-ceiling glass. The entire home fits on a single semi truck trailer and is very easy to transport and assemble. Fabulous.
Europeans have had a very different take on the radiator for many years compared to Americans. This cubist design is another example of this form and function thinking. From Marco Dessi.
I never really thought about the lack of beauty in a sink drain till I saw this sink drain from The Ornamented Life, Netherlands. Designer Joana Meroz has taken the drain to new levels. Compare the standard to this beauty. At Rose and Radish.
ZENKAYA is a prefab architecture delight. It comes fully assembled and has many option packages to choose from when outfitting, including furniture. Yes, you still need a site, prepared for the structure and utilities to hook up to, but other than that, they do the rest for you. You can choose from studio, one bedroom or two bedroom and they will expand the length further, should you desire. Neat!
