For many, the idea of prefab housing may bring to mind trailers and other less desirable images of home life. But this idea couldn't be more wrong! Rather, the newest trends in prefab has emerged as a great way for a design- (and cost-) conscious generation to achieve the dream of home ownership. Today, prefab houses are manufactured to the highest standards of construction and aesthetics. And with the internet, these houses can be ordered from all over the world--affording people everywhere the opportunity to acquire an affordable home of distinction. Prefab Modern explores the best prefabricated houses on the market today, from all over the world along with a resource directory on how you can purchase them. Included are case studies from all over the US and around the world, from top architects and designers.

Great book offering several different styles and architect's
Copyright 2004, so I'm sure there's a newer generation of designs and concepts but I enjoyed this book, if they are still in business almost 10 years later in this type of field of offering I assume they are a good overall business. Making a Amtrak cruise there to see there houses first hand.
