Prefab but premium: Insights and green sides of the WIRED LivingHome
Why do we feature the WIRED LivingHome on Club of Pioneers? Well, it's constructed in a sustainable way but also of some sort a mobile concept - meaning that since it is prefabricated it can be built in a couple of days almost anywhere. When you first arrive at the WIRED LivingHome in Brentwood, California, the house's exterior seems interesting from the word GO. But once you ascend the stairs to the first floor, you get the feeling that even though the structure itself is quite simple and clear cut, the interior must also reveal some playful highlights - and it certainly does on the technical site making it...yep, the first green AND sexy Prefab you certainly want to live in. Only some gadgets: the home features a 4-kilowatt SunPowerŽ solar power system, including high efficiency, all-black SunPower solar panels that generate up to 50 percent more power than conventional panels. Forced hot air radiant heating and cooling systems makes you feel all comfy no matter what time of the year. But green conscience doesn't stop here. The design also stands up to environmental standards:
recycled glass bathroom countertops, heath ceramic tiles, low-maintenance high-design ecological kitchen cabinetry... The rumour goes that the design has been influenced by the seventies - but check out for yourself.
