The architects specified an aluminum roof that “ghosts” the structure—it’s a material that recalls the typical use of corrugated metal on agricultural buildings, yet it subtly contrasts with the historic form. “It’s not quite what you’d use on a normal barn,” says Powell.

Despite the remoteness of the lot and the challenges it posed, the light-gauge steel frame was erected in days, and the entire home was completed in two months—a testament to the ease and efficiency of the prefabricated system. The building sits on upright columns that are bolted to independent concrete footings, giving the home the illusion of floating.

Openess and isolation is what architect Jesse Garlick’s enjoys most about his rural off-the-grid, prefabricated vacation home in the eastern Washington desert. The house has a steel façade that mimics the ochre-red bedrock in the area.

The term “knolling” refers to the act of organizing objects at right angles to each other or the surface they rest on. Sculptor Andrew Kromelow coined the term in 1987 while working as a janitor in Frank Gehry’s Santa Monica studio, while artist Tom Sachs, who also worked in Gehry’s studio at the time, popularized the concept.

Many architects don't practice with their hands, they say, outside of models made at university. "When they start working, they don't know how things are done. Architects need to start from scratch because when they're on-site, they'll know how to solve problems."
