We’ve been waiting and hoping for more from New Zealand architect Andre Hodgskin who first wowed us with BACHKIT™, a gorgeous holiday home of prefab pavilions designed in 2000. Hodgskin’s newest design is every bit as enticing. With the iPAD™, Hodgskin brings a stylish, versatile option to the prefab world with a bevy of possible configurations, finishes and even a choice in how you’d like it to arrive – it can be manufactured off-site and transported whole or shipped as a kitset for on-site assembly.
The iPAD™ is offered in several versions: single, single with guest suite or double. The single fills 50 square meters of interior living space, with about the same area found in decks around the dwelling. A small guest suite with private bathroom can be added to this configuration off one of the decks.
The home can also expand with a second, full-scale module that adds a second bedroom. The two modules, surrounded by decks, can be arranged in a myriad of assemblies – L-shaped, offset, linear, contiguous or separated by decks – depending on the site or the owner’s inclination. The possibilities give the iPAD™ a unique versatility.
The design is available in several exterior finishes to fit many tastes, and starts at $125,000 for the single, in New Zealand.

The home’s footprint is obviously sustainable. Are there any other eco-friendly features?

From where it seems to be situated , it seems brilliant .
Send more info, please. Or, a site were I can study thouroughly and maybe visit a sample building.
Thanks, Phil
Can this be built on stilts and comply with hurricane regulations in the U.S.? I only ask because it is so beautiful.
Nice house.
Nice house… so beautiful… Thirteen in a dosen, I say. Another (relative expensive) prefab bungalow. Next time feature the special functions on a building like this. I know it’s hard to come up with a prefab story every week, but please try harder next time (a bit eco-friendlier). I’ve seen loads of these projects lying around, available for “just” a bit more then 100k. But the actual application is not worth mentioning.
(And yes,it’s monday morning again)
This reminds me of one of the houses (I think the winner in fact) of the Solar Decathlon that took place in DC last October. Can’t seem to find a link to it, sorry. Really nice though.
