Prefabricated Luxury Found!
A prefabricated house is an adult version of Lincoln Logs or Legos; sectioned off modules snapped together to produce a fast and easy solution to construction. Who says a brisk wind or the Big Bad Wolf won’t bring the whole thing down?
However, architecture visionaries like Resolution: 4 Architecture are changing this fairy tale. The 21st century firm is currently constructing a 4,200 square foot vacation home in South Hampton, NY. Swingline, a completely manufactured retreat, houses two master suites, four guest bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, a media room and office with floor-to-ceiling windows, a rooftop deck with an outdoor fireplace, and a pool. Assembled entirely of cedar paneling, maple cabinetry, and bamboo flooring, Swingline looks at home among the eastern hardwoods surrounding the 3-acre property. This second home not only blows down conventional concepts of luxury, it does it in an environmentally-friendly (LEED certified) manner.
