Prefabricated homes are the demand of the season. Apart from being quite cost effective and having the modularity to make it easier to move around, prefabricated houses are also extremely practical and useful in extreme times of need.
When nature shows its wrath or man goes too far and creates trouble, prefabricated houses are the best solution available for people who have lost their real homes. Generally, designers try to create living houses that can be created and assembled in the easiest and quickest manner with the least spending. The ideas for creative designs also come from the most mundane and strange places. The House Arc designed by Joseph Bellomo from Palo Alto was inspired by a bicycle rack!

Much of the world’s buildings have roofs that are wasted and squandered. For example, in big cities there are so many tall buildings and most of those roofs can have living spaces which can be rented out. LoftCube is one such prefabricated living space which can be placed on top of a roof with the help of a crane.
It is an architectural design that is based on Japanese space saving strategies. It is stylish and chic, and also can be transported to any location in the world. However, they are best used on roofs in big cities as it would save a lot of space.

Prefabricated homes often reek of boring designs that are practical yet more than just an eye-sore. They also bring to mind the thought of being away from home, living in unfamiliar spaces or perhaps even, in extreme cases, having to live in a prefab home because one has lost their real home.
The attachment one has with their home, thus, is a close bond that is difficult to break or to replace. But that was a thing of the past, before the appearance of cool prefab homes.

Remember how much fun you had as a kid playing house with humongous boxes? If you’re looking for a trendy house with the same look in mind, you may want to opt for a container house. The 2+ Weekend House is made from containers made solely for housing.
Designed by Jure Kotnik Arcitekt for ConHouse, the 2+ Weekend House has been made especially for housing and office purposes. The house is made up of two rectangular containers stacked on top of the other facing opposite directions. This gives the upper floor the novelty of having a terrace thanks to the roof of the ground floor. It also provides shade for the porch of the ground floor. This tit-for-tat formation house may take a moment to get used to from the outside, but the interior with wooden floorboards and circular staircase is extremely appealing.
