New homeowners are looking for inexpensive, unique, greener, and smarter homes that are durable and energy-efficient at the same time. Prefabricated homes are one solution.
Architect Renato Vidal from Italy has designed a miniature home that he claims can be built in 6-7 hours. It is built in a factory, doesn’t need concrete foundations, and can also be upgraded to run off-grid. It is claimed to earthquake resistant

Too good to be true? Perhaps, as the 30,000€ quoted is for just 27m2, below the minimum permitted size of a habitable property in Spain. The larger 2/3 bed models are much more practical and appear to be priced at about 60,000€. Land costs, site purchase and fees would have to be added to the equation.
Prefab homes are the homes of the future. The exceptional convenience, cutting-edge architecture and eco-efficiency are everything that a homeowner would love to invest in, especially in these changing times.
