Houses Go Green
Last week, Moira Gunn interviewed Michelle Kaufmann, an architect who designed modular homes with a focus on resource conservation. Wired Magazine had an article on this same subject last month that I really enjoyed. If you listen to the interview, you’ll here Moira and Michelle talk about the Glidehouse, one of Kaufmann’s original designs. Michelle’s firm has a variety of designs that are efficient, cheaper to build (because of the modular design), and desirable. Those are words you don’t always see in the same sentence together.

Glidehouse pricing starts at $140/sq foot before upgrades, transport, or installation, which may be cheap on the east/west coast but puts in into luxury house pricing the center of the country.
I like modular homes as a concept, but it isn't affordable for people with more normal housing budgets - so far.
