Eco Architecture: ‘Quik House’ – Luxury in a shipping container
Anupam | Mar 7 2009

Eco Factor: Prefab house built from recycled materials.

Prefabs can go bizarre but trendy too at the same time. If the Hemeroscopium House was a bit too peculiar for you then you can set your eyes on Adam Kalkin’s “Quik House.” Adam is a New Jersey-based architect who specializes in ultra-modern and trendy prefab house construction that is made from old shipping containers. The houses developed by Adam are constructed in just 10 weeks after the order is received.

The size and the design are altered according to user requirements, which are then charged at the rate of $150 per square foot. The designer now hopes to top the Quik House with a smaller and trendier house known as the “A-Pod,” which will be released sometime later this year with a price tag of $50,000. Some of his prefab homes are a single room in a single container, while the others feature a range of structures built inside them with that luxurious touch.

The Dark Side:

Apart from the high cost, the prefab house is a boon for all those who need to live in a luxuriously green apartment.
