A Really New House

2009-02

Since the Industrial Revolution we possess a lot of prefabricated, mass customized products like mobile phones, cars and furniture. In spite of the advantages like a short production time and a better quality for a lower price, we do not use that much prefabrication in architecture.

This new designed prefabricated, mass customized house is better than all existing prefab houses. It is easy to extend, very suitable for prefabrication, adjustable for different groups of people, cheap to produce, suitable for transport on the road and it is very easy to assemble. Besides these financial and technical advantages, the house has a modern and new look, different from all existing prefab houses.
The house consists of two different sorts of components: Frames© and Plug-Ins©. The Frames you can get in three different sizes and you can combine them in many different ways. With the Frames you can make the different Units© which you can connect to each other. This will be the main structure of your new house. The Plug-Ins you literally can plug into the Frames. These Plug-Ins will define the different spaces of the house.
