Man In a Box

I was reading archived entries in Jetson Green and came across this wonderful minimalist modular home.

Modular house

The Drop House won the Modular Architecture Challenge in 2005 in part due to its good looks and the fact that it’s so easy to customize. Architects Antoine Cordier, Olivier Charles and Armel Neouze created the Drop House concept to illustrate “private housing, industry and customization.” Apparently the design lends itself to passive solar heating and other green ideals we should probably all be looking for when buying real estate.

But I just think it’s really cool looking.

    Great stuff here!
    Modular / prefab homes will offer solutions to the world’s housing shortage for the deprived, under-privileged and low income populations in society by providing a total system for basic, low-cost, quality built housing. The modular housing constructed with sandwich panels is the lowest in cost, most rapidly erected, simplest in design, and most structurally sound basic housing in existence today. Plus, you can ship 21 houses in a 40 foot container.
