Pensieri di un lunatico minore

Pre-packaged modern architecture

I just received a mailing from Blu Dot, who made some of my bedroom furniture about a new project by their founder, called FLaTPaK House, a pre-manufactured modular modern housing system. It looks very interesting, although the price is not going to be the big draw. Mostly, I’m interested because it represents a relatively standardized modernity, and something less scary than approaching a blank sheet of paper with few ideas but that you want something different. The flexibility of the modular approach means that there’s no reason any two will ever look the same, and the reality is that houses have always been modular in design, just not in construction.

This join’s The Dwell Home as a new sense of modular modern pre-fabrication. Not quite as beautiful as the Dwell home, but we’ll see how pricing changes between the two approaches taken by the different organizations.
