Most posts about this cube home are calling it tiny or small (at least that I’ve seen) but it feels more immense to me. It does dwell above most of the trees. G Living notes that it can be built in just five days. Ah bliss. No waiting around. It’s also very striking. I love […]
We haven’t seen much prefab recently, but we should. Although it’s not normally favorite type of home, I’ve been having these new found feelings for prefab lately. That said, I think we should visit with FlatPak; I mean, if you’re going prefab, why not order from someone who makes it as easy as ordering a […]
This month at Offbeat, I’m introducing you to some of my neighboring blogs via the Lifestyles Channel Three Doors Down event. Last week we looked at Psycho for Love. This week, something a little less psycho, and more fun; Play Library. Play Library covers the best of the best in playtime fun for kids and […]
When it comes to unique living spaces, prefab tends to fall lower on the totem poll for me. I do like many prefab homes, I just rarely like them as much as other homes. I happen to love this Joshua Tree prefab though.
Ah beauty in a tiny package. You won’t believe how much living space […]
I’ve been cleaning out my bookmarks - I seriously have hundreds of Offbeat items that I’ve found, or that people have sent me. That’s cool and all, but I think it’s been slowing my blogging down here at Offbeat, because I can never find what I want.
So, I sat down today, and two hours later, […]
So, lame me; I’m a day or so late in reporting this but for some reason I thought the post I read about this project at CNET said that the WIRED installation was happening next week. I was so excited and then later felt this sinking sensation that I had speed read too quickly. […]
This is a quickie post because frankly, you have to go watch the slides of this amazing cube home by Werner Aisslinger to appreciate the full Loftcube Project experience.
Here are a few photos to wet your inner cube appetite. It’s an impressively wide open floor plan so imagine flow from every direction.

I’ve always found the best looking modular homes to be those that were the simplest. The Modular 3, designed and developed by Studio 804. Studio 804 is a design/build program at the University of Kansas led by Dan Rockhill. I was made aware of this project, and it receiving the “Judges’ Award” […]
I always thought trailers were cool. Well when I was 8. Now I can’t get past the stigma. Another question, Why are they sold to people who live in, near, or around areas that have tornadoes?

If only this one would catch on, it could change everything.
The miniHOME SOLO was designed and developed through […]

Like most good ideas, they’re sparked to fill a need. It was 1946, post WWII, and there was a housing shortage. Lustron was going to help fill that need. An ALL steel prefabricated home. Carl Strandlund was manufacturing porcelain coated steel panels that were used on the fronts of gas stations and […]
