More prefab madness! I just can not get enough, I’m just obsessed with the contemporary options of prefab. Shed is a company specializing in temporary, low-cost homes, offices and playrooms. These fully insulated zero-carbon spaces are equipped with a kitchen, shower room,  double bed deck, real fire place and plenty of storage. They are available a range of materials including timber, steel, rubber, cement, zinc, etc.

Im not sure you guys have picked up on my obsession with shipping containers yet but I have mentioned them in Pre-fab homes and art installations around the world. Dutch designer Sandra Mulder has created a series of interior shelving called Pandora inspired by containers.

This modular storage system is inspired by the wonderful color mosaics that sprout to life in every harbor and container terminal the world around. The individual pieces can be stacked, tilted and rotated around in endless (colour-) combinations, to create your personal container terminal for all domestic storage uses.

In California, Leo Marmol and Ron Radziner have earned themselves a reputation as the go-to architects for dream homes and classic house renovations. As a measure of their credentials, consider this: they’ve now built six homes for Tom Ford and they were the retro-fit architects of choice for the new owners of Richard Neutra’s legendary Kaufmann house.

It’s a little surprising then to learn that Marmol-Radziner and Associates is quietly building a thriving side business in prefabricated homes.

‘I think these days, the term prefab is thrown around wildly,’ says Radziner. ‘Our prefabs are modular and are delivered to site complete with everything in it.’

Rincon 5, as the current range is known, is 60-ft long and barely distinguishable from a site-build, so meticulous are the detailing and construction standards. The $220,000 fee includes construction costs. Radziner points out that each Rincon takes eight weeks to build in the factory and is delivered to the site complete with tiles, plumbing and even fixtures like dishwashers and sinks.
