3. Modular Tower House by Modscape
The proud owners of this lofty Melbourne home had spent many years in an old house on the same site. But crunch-time had arrived.

When it became clear that renovating would be infeasible, they approached well-known modular/pre-fabricated architects, Modscape to design them a new home to make a statement on their modest street.
And does it make a statement? The modular pre-fabricated home was easy and quick to build and rolled up on site less than 12 weeks after construction began. This maximised the time the owners could stay in their old home, limiting the costs and hassle of finding other accomodation.
4. Happy Haus by Donovan Hill Architects

That's exactly what you get with Happy Haus. And the best part is there's no specialised systems in the Happy Haus designs, making them suitable for a range of locations. There’s no trickery here, Happy Haus uses no nifty gadgets, just the same systems your average house is built from. This makes the houses easy to build and maintain. Perhaps with this straightforward approach to prefab houses, we might start seeing more houses being unwrapped like giant gifts!
