    The 550 sq ft house includes a kitchen, living room, bedroom, and bathroom, which was built completely off site and then trucked into the LA convention center for the Dwell on Design show.

    The compact home makes use of varied ceiling heights and lots of natural daylight to make it seem bigger than it really is.

    Surprisingly enough, the home features a concrete subfloor with radiant heating, which is not usually typical for prefab homes.

    Product sponsors like Electrolux donated materials and appliances to outfit the eco prefab home, which also included plyboo cabinets, cork flooring, Lumens LED lights, FSC-certified and low maintenance EcoClad cladding, recycled-content IceStone counters, Modwalls recycled-content tile, and much more.
