Studio 804 at the University of Kansas School of Architecture and Urban Planning has an impressive book full of very nice PreFabs. The Modular 4 project has to be my favorite. Most PreFabs have that “PreFab” look, Modular 4 does not have that look, it looks like a custom home. ONE PLEASE! More after the jump.
Building on the success of Studio 804’s previous prefab projects, Modular 4 became the most ambitious project to date. Consisting of seven modules, the 1500 square foot home is located mere blocks away from the KU medical center, providing tremendous exposure to our work. Featuring a remarkably flexible floor plan anchored by a core of service space that defines the interior, the seven modules are offset in the middle to separate public and private, creating a bold four-foot cantilever on either side of the house.
Studio 804 is a design/build program at the University of Kansas School of Architecture and Urban Planning. As a final, single semester comprehensive experience, Studio 804 provides students with critical knowledge that prepares them for their future work as young architects in a rapidly changing and challenging profession. The vehicle used for this exhaustive experience is the design and development of an affordable building during which students explore and develop architectural solutions which promote efficiency, sustainability, and creative us of materials.
