Behind the scenes prefab production tour in Los Angeles
LA based architecture firm Marmol Radziner has launched full scale production of their award-winning, green, modern prefab homes... and they are offering tours of their new modular factory. Of course they intend for this to be a preview for petential prefab homeowners, but I am sure a few of you prefab geeks will slip your way in just to chek it out.
The "Utah House 1" design is currently in production. Marmol Radziner Prefab's 65,000 square foot factory accommodates the fabrication of 20 prefab modules at once, including a cabinet shop, metal shop, and door and window shop.
Two tour dates are currently offered:
-
Sunday, September 24, 2006, noon to 5pm
Sunday, December 3, 2006, noon to 5pm

Marmol Radziner Prefab is able to design prefab homes in virtually any size or configuration, taking into account site considerations and personal preferences. The Utah House 1 features 2,500 square feet of interior space, 1,720 square feet of exterior deck space, accommodating three bedrooms and three bathrooms. The home will be prefabricated entirely in the factory and transported for site installation. The home features Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs), a recycled steel frame, floor-to-ceiling windows, custom cabinets, and concrete tile floors. As part of Utah House 1’s green design, solar panels supply electrical power to the home.
