  I like the modern look of these homes. Too bad they're so expensive. I thought part of the prefab idea was lower cost? Oh well... Also too bad they had to squeeze it a tiny lot. If you really want to change the world with green homes, you have to make them more affordable.

  [...] LivingHomes collaborated with Kieran Timberlake to design manufacture the seven townhomes for the Presidio, making this their first foray into building multi-family residences. These factory-built modular homes were assembled on-site by Forest City as part of the Presidio Landmark. The project is made up of seven three-story attached units overlooking a shared central green in front of a wooded area. Each three-bedroom, three-bathroom unit includes its own garage, patio and rooftop deck. [...]

  One of the major advantages of prefab is that while the site work is being done, your house is being built in a factory. You cannot do both at the same time with typical site construction. This allows the homeowner or contractor to save a significant amount of interest on their construction loan.

  With such a simple floor plan and easy structural strategy, why was this home pre-fabricated? It was erected in one day, but that likely required one or more months of foundation work beforehand and several months of in-the-shop construction. All in all, i'll bet that the time to completion of this project isn't all that faster than typical construction methods, which also don't involve massive heavy machinery for transportation and the spectacle/risk of hoisting sections into place. If it's mass-produced, I can understand it, but as a one-off home, it doesn't seem like a more effective, more sustainable way to build.

  It would a good idea to include the state and country. Is this in CA? If so, I think less of it.
