Part of my graduate research focuses on green residential prefab, and this is one of the most comprehensive ideas I\\\'ve seen. A lot of value in this product.

The process of building these cottages seemed very comprehensive, and follows ‘no waste’ philosophies. All material waste is turned to sawdust, sorted for recycling, or sent out locally for reuse. The cutout for the wall plaque is even used to produce a key chain. It was obvious a lot of thought and design has been put into this product—I was thoroughly impressed!

We certainly appreciate the attention to all of our hard work. In an effort to keep the record straight, Cottage in a Day is a business that hired architect Michael Fitzhugh "to draw" a previously determined design, arrived at through focus groups, design salons, and transportation limitations. While Michael is a talented young architect, which is why we selected him to be part of the team, he did not design the Cottage in a Day concept. Thanks, and keep watching us.

This client opted for gutters after this photo was taken. rain screens for catching and re-using water are add-ons and are available for any models of Cottage in a Day.

Baaad idea! Especially in a snowy location, like Michigan. The roof will dump all the rain water right in front of the entire entrance. Baaad idea! Especially in a snowy location, like Michigan.

It doesn't seem terribly sustainable to be pitching all these things as extra homes. Sorry to say it, but having two homes, no matter how green and well designed they may be.
