The Japanese "no-brand" masters of minimalism unveil the first single-story design in their line of prefab homes.
Set amidst the mow eastern mountains of Pueblo Eden, this contemporary home was constructed in four months with a prefab steel-frame system clad in low-maintenance sheet metal.
The architects created a simple, shed-like refuge so as to not detract from the surrounding environment.
Architect Tadashi Murai designed this remote retreat for a Tokyo transplant who abandoned his corporate existence.
Comprising 11 modules, this green-roofed prefab was built in 90 days in a factory near São Paulo and then transported to the site in three shipments on flatbed trucks.
