The P.A.T.H. system isn’t just another glass box. Customization technology at the Riko factory allows potential homeowners to choose from 34 variations on a theme, with alternating sizes (roughly 1,500-3,800 square feet), sides (wooden walls to an all-glass shell) and shapes (cornice, flat, or pitched roof). The price per square meter (upwards of $530 per square foot) certainly isn’t inconsequential, but as Starck says, “It’s not [just] about better design, it’s all about better quality.” Photo 1 of 6 in Best of #ModernMonday: Energy Efficiency and Savings by Zach Edelson from Philippe Starck Dreams Up Super Green Prefab System
