Small Living and PreFab

I love the idea of small living:  less to purchase, less to pay taxes on, less to heat, less to cool, less to clean.  There are so many amazing ideas out there but one of the ones that compliments small living best is PreFab. 

If that word brings images of track housing or mobile homes consider some of the work by Hangar Design Group that designed a beautiful portable structure that looks very 'high design."

Creating a house, or any building, on a site requires everyone to travel to the job site, bring their materials to the job site, and to somehow remove the waste materials.  Construction is one of the most wasteful industries.  But creating a building in a controlled environment allows the economies of scale, streamline processes and assembly line and manufacturing quality control. 

All of that and a beautiful design!
