Looks more Bauhaus than Wright house, but that ok. I like it!

Yawn.
Looks like 98% of every other prefab design that's come out over the last 5 years. Nothing distinctive whatsoever to me.

where is the floor plan?
what is the cost per square foot?
IMHO: slightly better than the usual shoebox-modern pre-fab.

I, too, would like to see a floor plan. I wasn't impressed with the track lighting inside but sure liked the downlights over the outside spaces. The separation of the living spaces by the "breezeway" is kinda cool.

Here's a link to a previous post in our coverage of the Taliesin prefab project which shows a floor plan:

Not sure about cost...will look into that for everyone.

cold design in a wonderfully warm location...pass

The integrated system design is wonderful, but where is the Wright aesthetic? I don't see it or feel it here. The interior finishes are way too industrial for a home. There are so many good, green alternatives, I think they missed some opportunities. Spare is good, sterile isn't.

What a wonderful, perfect jewel of house! My husband just looked at the photos and commented, "It's the size of my car." To which I responded, "We'll get two of them." He shot back, "Make that six."
Which brings us to the question, "Are these to be marketed?" "Soon?"
I rather like the idea of a compound. Perhaps not as many as six, though. So much more civilized than a guest room within earshot.
