While prefabrication lends itself to making the simplest of homes, some designers have been getting mighty fancy with their prefabs lately. We don’t mind the bells and whistles, but as the people behind PLACE houses suggest, you can’t wear couture every day. That’s why they’ve created a kit house that is ready-to-wear.
PLACE houses promise to be smart, affordable and green. Designed by Seattle firm, Place Architects, the residences offer an array of customizable features, which manage to be both mercifully limited and abundantly personalized. I can just imagine Goldilocks exploring her options in the PLACEhouse, discovering that it’s neither too much nor too little of what she wants; this PLACE is just right.
