Dwell Home Design Invitational
Full credit must go to everyone involved in this project which, having pushed prefab into the mainstream media spotlight, is responsible for reawakening interest in prefab as a model for design and construction. While the direct outcome is a completed house for the clients, "the ultimate goal of the Dwell Home Design Invitational... is to put a well-designed, affordable modern house into production by 2004."
Which design(s) will make it to the fablist?
