  • MOSS Prefabricated Office by Victor Vetterlein
    Roadways are clogged, global emissions are high and causing unprecedented climate change and people are miserable from road rage. To combat all those problems, <a href="http://victorvetterlein.com">Victor Vetterlein</a> designed MOSS, a prefabricated home office powered by clean, renewable energy. Vetterlein suggests that employers can either lease or purchase these 13 foot octagonal offices, which would be installed in their employees' backyards, driveways or even on their roofs. Completely connected to the main office, these units are expected to boost productivity while also taking a host of cars off the road.
