Description
In this guide to prefab home-building creator Sheri Koones, demystifies the prefabricated house by the usage of 25 unique homes to showcase how factory-built homes are greener, more efficient, sturdier, and more cost-effective than website-built homes. The book is divided into 3 categories—green, greener, greenest—and the homes featured vary in style, design, form of construction, and size. The entire homes included in Prefabulous and Sustainable have been customized to create a level of sustainability beyond the inherent qualities of prefab.
Written in a very easy to consider and approachable style, creator Sheri Koones walks the readers through each and every of the homes, explaining the materials, strategies, and systems used to create a sustainable living environment. Photographs, captions, floor plans, and sidebars illustrate to readers that green living isn’t as complicated as one might think, and attainable for everyone. Also included is a resource guide, making this book a hand-on guide for homebuilders.
