Prefab site installation
As Clipped earlier, the prefab home designed by Ray Kappe for Living Homes is being installed in Santa Monica, California today, and we have lots of pictures (after the jump).If there ever was a cool, day-time non-planned architecture party, then this was it! A bunch of SCI-Arc and UCLA alumni standing around in the sun, "oooing" and "awwwing" over witnessing the structural frame and panels being hoisted over our heads into place by a huge crane, and placed onto a slab with more level changes than the Villa Malaparte! The possibilities are great for this, and once economies of scale are allowed to take place, man could this change the industry and the profession as a whole! Will it? Who knows, but congratulations, Ray, for again pointing us in a new and exciting direction! The design is beautiful, and it will surely give prefab a whole new image in the future.
