Prefab Considerations

My first instinct was to investigate a prefab solution when we began this project. I find the concept of prefabricated eco-modern homes very attractive, but living in Toronto definitely limited our options… apparently there aren’t many nearby factories. Who knew? I was particularly fond of Michelle Kaufmann’s Sidebreeze, but the shipping costs definitely made it cost prohibitive. Royal Homes apparently has a factory nearby that builds modern homes, however none of them would fit on our lot. Sigh.

Regardless of my situation, it’s great to see that Michelle Kaufmann is finally getting some attention with her eco-friendly prefab homes. More people should be paying attention…

Even if you’re not interested in going prefab, you can’t ignore her environmental message.
