Modular house

Joshua Tree Home
This house, built from a cluster of Origin modules, is located in Joshua Tree rocky desert (Southern California) which is a national park since 1994. The location of the house promotes much of natural daylighting and shadow side reduces overheating, which is so uncomfortable in desert. The owners wanted to save a connection with a nature, so exterior living spaces are as important as the indoor ones. Joshua Tree home consists of two Origin modules, which are located at a right angle and create shaded courtyard area. An additional module is placed at a slight distance and used as a cottage for a guest. The main construction includes ash cabinetry, Caesarstone countertops, bamboo radiant floors, Anderson windows and a photovoltaic system over the carport. Sometimes Joshua Tree Home is opened for visiting of public tours having a desert trip. You can see the home’s interior decoration at the photos below.

Contemporary Modular Black and White Houses by A-Cero

These great houses were presented by A-Cero Modular quite a while ago, in 2010, but we simply couldn’t leave them unviewed. A-Cero is a world-wide famous Spanish design studio, specializing in urban architecture and design. Unlike the huge luxury houses they built for the La-Finca residential area, modular department’s houses are much smaller and easier to construct. Just like any other modular homes they are built of prefabricated blocks. There are multiple configurations, from the cheapest two room and one storey version at 84,000 euros, to the most expensive Cubic that has two storey and reminds of the luxury Spanish villas the most and comes at 252,000 euros. The earlier presented version is called the black house and has black glossy facade thanks to the black windows glass and aluminum panels. It looks extremely cool, but newer white house is more welcoming and extraordinary with its black and white contrastive exterior. For more information visit this website.
