The Element House would follow strict LEED design criteria and will also be off the grid, functioning independently of utilities. With the light wells and large windows on the end, natural daylight would provide light for the interior, and natural ventilation helps with cooling. The prefab modules would be limited to to a max size of 1,500 sq feet each, encouraging smaller living.
In case you’re in Denver this weekend, Principals Michael Meredith and Hilary Sample of MOS Architects will be giving a lecture on their new prefab housing strategy at the Museum of Outdoor Arts. The lecture takes place on Saturday, April 10th at 4:30 pm with an opening reception from 5-9pm. The exhibition continues through August 14th, 2010.
