Anyone watching modern prefab at the turn of the century will remember Andre Hodgskin's stunning Bachkit, with its cantilevered roof, open corners and sliding walls. (and an early un-navigable flash website) I was working with a prefab builder at the time and was asked to look at the plans; the complexity and the tolerances required to make the sliders work scared me away. However it remains perhaps the most beautiful modern prefab attempted.

The website calls it "a fresh look at the concept of a simple but stylish lightweight kitset building.The iPAD™ is a true kitset bach designed to cover a range of options; it could be a one bedroom holiday home, secondary dwelling, granny flat, office, studio or resort unit to name but a few. It can be grouped as a series of pavilions to form larger accommodation if required." via:treehugger
