One+ Modular Prefab Homes Are Like Legos for Adults

Modular housing concept <a href="http://www.addaroom.se/" target="_blank">One+ by Swedish company Add-A-Room</a> is just like <a href="http://inhabitat.com/2010/06/07/artist-jan-vormann-uses-legos-to-repair-war-damaged-buildings/" target="_blank">Lego building blocks</a> for homes. Based on 15 sq meter modules, the One+ system is designed for those needing extra space on their lot. <a href="../architecture/prefab-housing/" target="_blank">Prefabricated</a> in Add-A-Room's factory in Tyresö, the stylish little modules are made from local Swedish materials with tight insulation, energy efficient design, and a deck and pergola included!

One+ was designed by architect Lars Frank Nielsen of Danish firm ONEN Design for Swedish company Add-A-Room.

The housing system can be coupled with other modules to create a variety of designs.

The modules are prefabricated in a factory in Tyresö and then shipped out via truck and put into place with a crane.

Each unit is made from locally sourced Swedish materials and comes with a veranda and a pergola for shade.

The houses are fully insulated and come with energy efficient windows and sliding doors from Velfac for low heating costs.

The building block of One+ is the 15 sq meter module with veranda and pergola.

Two modules separated by a 3 x 2.3 meters Inside Access module to create a larger space. This mini module can serve as a kitchenette, a bathroom or extra space.

Two modules arranged lengthwise with the pergolas connected to create a shaded breezeway between the modules. An open module can be included under the pergola for outdoor storage, an outdoor kitchen or an outdoor shower.

Two modules connected to each other in a T-shape.

A whole house can be strung together with the modules in various positions.

The modules come with electricity and plumbing installed and can also be heated via solar power.

Ready to move in, a single 15 sq meter minihus with electricity starts at 250,000 SEK. With kitchenette and bathroom it is 350,000 SEK. Both prices include a veranda and pergola on the short side of the house.

The One+ House is on display at the <a href="http://www.addaroom.se/Visningshus.html">Sommarsalongen</a> until mid September.
