Prefab Cottage for Two Families: A Family House with Living Spaces above Sleeping Spaces

Designed by Kohn Shnier Architects, this beautiful house has been recognized by some awards. Prefab Cottage for Two Families is a family house project designed for two families. It is an “upside-down” house with living spaces above the sleeping spaces that make this house unique.

Design

This project is a two-family house comprised of seven prefabricated modules. It only takes eight weeks to install on-site and construct in the factory. From a distance, this house looks like a wooden house that sits in the middle of the forest. Surrounded by a beautiful landscape, this house is a perfect place to create a connection between the family member and nature.

Spaces

When assembled, the modules of this house create a building with a size that is one hundred feet long with fifteen feet wide. This house becomes unique because it is an “upside-down” house where the living spaces are located above the sleeping spaces. The living spaces consist of a living and dining area where the family can enjoy the outside view through the glazed sliding doors.
