One of the most amazing designs I’ve seen recently for a prefab structure is Shelter 2.0. It was designed by Robert Bridges and Bill Young and is intended to be easily assembled from a small set of standardized prefabricated pieces. They’ve also released the designs under a creative commons license to make it easier for people to make use of this great new solution.

One of my regular readers, Mark, sent this to me. It’s an incredibly simple flat folding plywood work space designed by Dutch designers Kapteinbolt. I really want to try building some stuff like this; there are some really inspiring space saving ideas here. Thanks again Mark!

It’s always interesting to see what architectural firms come up with when tasked to design small structures. This one was designed by Sanders Pace Architecture. Their client wanted an off-the-grid structure for weekend use. I think the exterior texture is really incredible as well as the dramatic projecting roofline.
