LV Open House
Rocio Romero is hosting an open house on June 12, 2010 in Perryville, Missouri. She is the architect behind the LV series small prefab homes. While not tiny, at 1150 square feet, this modern home is still very affordable and the design flexible allowing for a lot of personalization. She also offers a smaller 625 square foot home called the LVM Home.

I’m looking forward to seeing these prefab houses in person when they come to my town. I’ll definitely be posting photos on Tiny House Design mid-March.
DIY-Prefab by Malcolm A. White
One of my long-time readers, Malcolm A. White, has years of experience in construction & design that he is now sharing through his new blog DIY-Prefab. In fact I don’t think my own ebook, Tiny Prefab, would be nearly as complete had it not been for all of Malcolm’s feedback and input.
If you have an interest in self-fabricated tiny houses I highly recommend that you visit and bookmark Malcolm’s new blog. DIY-Prefab

Drop House architecture
Many people like the form factor of cargo container homes but not everyone wants to live in a metal box. Here’s an example of a very high-style modern prefab tiny house that mimics its industrial inspiration while remaining sustainable and green.

Small Prefabs
I have an appreciation for an eclectic set of design styles but there is something really attractive to me about these modern prefabs. As a do-it-yourselfer-to-a-fault I’ll probably never build a modern prefab myself, opting to build from scratch, but I really find a lot of inspiration from them. Recently Shedworking covered a story on some tiny modern prefabs which included this one by Habode.
