Architect Kaufman and designer Remick specialize in innovative pre-fabricated homes, and they have written this volume for fellow designers and general readers who are interested in sustainable homes that combine eco-materials, "smart" principles and a healthy environment into a "pre-packaged green solution." The authors include hundreds of color photographs to describe green designs that conserve water, energy and space while using pre- fabrication principles to lower overall building costs. Six specific designs from the authors are presented, including the Glidehouse, the Breezehouse, the mkSolaire, the mkLotus, the mkLoft and the SideBreeze.
