Customers are free to customize their prefab, as long as it fits within the company's structural grid.

Warm wood detailing ensures that the concrete flooring has a natural contrast.

Full kitchens, complete with an island, can be constructed. The typical timeline for these prefabs is eight months.

The steel-frame structure allows for floor-to-ceiling triple glazing along the perimeter of the units.

When Abbie and Bill Burton hired Marmol Radziner to design their prefab weekend home, their two requests were “simple-simple, replaceable materials,” says Abbie—such as concrete floors (poured offsite in Marmol Radziner's factory) and metal panel siding—and “the ability to be indoors or outdoors with ease.” Deep overhangs provide shade and protection from rain, so the Burtons can leave their doors open year-round and hang out on their 70-foot-long deck even in inclement weather. They visit the house once a month, usually for a week at a time, with Vinnie and Stella, their rescue Bernese Mountain dogs. Their two adult children occasionally join them. The couple hopes to one day retire here.

Ample glazing frames views of the surrounding landscape, further connecting the living spaces to nature.

The home is composed of two modules joined along their longest side. The spaces that require plumbing are located in the first module, with the bedrooms and common areas in the second module.

Large openings have been printed into the ground floor walls, allowing for the interiors to be flooded with natural light.

The homes come move-in ready, with appliances, furniture, and finishes chosen by the owner.

Sliding glass doors help this tiny home expand into an indoor/outdoor living space, augmented by the addition of a deck.

The Outward Bound cabins, designed by the University of Colorado Denver's design-build program, have steel frames that lift the structures above a three-foot snowpack while supporting corrugated-steel "snow roofs."

The kitchen in The Sycamore features white-painted cabinetry, pine ceiling beams and flooring.

Watch the Northern Lights from the comfort of your warm bed at Panorama Glass Lodge Iceland. Designed by the Estonian company ÖÖD Homes, the two 200-square-foot prefab cabins are thoughtfully made for small-space living. Each has a bedroom, living room, bathroom, and kitchen.

The home’s walls are clad in Oregon white oak reclaimed from a dismantled barn on the property. Jessica Helgerson chose to paint them white to create a bright, airy look, but she left the kitchen wall au naturel for a visual pop. With storage at a premium, the kitchen needed ample cabinetry as well as some ingenious solutions—including a pull-out cabinet hidden in one half of the range hood. A vintage cabinet on the left wall provides open storage for everyday dishes.

The compartments on the sea-facing facade are one of Sundberg's favorite features of the design. They "work on a lot of levels," he says.

The sea-facing side has a large covered deck. Thin slats of larch on this facade create a slimmer profile that contrasts the large floor-to-ceiling windows.
