The Best Pre-Fabricated Homes and Their Benefits
The pre-fabricated homes have caused a revolution in the modern architecture market. The current housing crisis means we need to rethink the approach to architecture and housing. KODA and HebHomes are radicalising the design world, by taking inspiration from Jean Prouvé.
Just like ByALEX furniture, the pre-fabricated homes can be relocated, used for multiple purposes and even piled up on top of each other to create a complex cluster. Space saving is the name of the game. Read about how these revolutionary trends are shaping the way we live.
The Estonian firm Kodasema developed KODA, the first house which can be built in a day and transported on the back of a lorry. They offer a £150k package which covers the planning and building regulations, delivery costs, site preparation, and installation. It is a flexible, adaptable and eco-friendly house which offers many possibilities from an office space to retail and living. Built using low-carbon materials, the sustainable houses are well insulated. The concrete walls control the temperature and noise levels to keep the occupant comfortable and at ease. All you need set up your own demountable house is a small plot of land with access to water, sewerage, and electricity. And because they come all-in-one, you can start your minimalist life in a blink of an eye.
Architecture like this has learnt a lot from pioneers like Jean Prouvé, the farther of prefabrication. In 1949, his project Maison Aluminium Métropole won the government-run competition to provide a solution to the housing and teaching crisis in rural areas of France. 15 of the Prouvé’s completed designs managed to set the new trend in modern architecture. As a result, the pre-fabricated homes have been becoming an increasingly popular alternative in the property market ever since. The structures are easy to build and relocate, and as such they represent a minimalist living solution accessible worldwide.
