Blue Sky Home

It is a 1,000 square feet house located in the Mojave Desert region at 4,000’ above sea level. The program called for a sustainable, modestly scaled residence to serve as a prototype for a prefabricated line of homes. This house is designed by o2 Architecture for specialize developer Blue Sky Homes LLC. . Special attention was paid to site placement and building orientation. Inspired by Le Corbusier’s “Domino”; the building contains a pure structure of columns and planes. In order to make its design suitable for a variety of site conditions, this house is having non-load bearing walls and openings that can be moved within the structure. Its façade is made of grid of pre-manufactured wall panels and standardized building components. The bathroom module, containing all home MEP systems, is built off-site and delivered finished. The placement of storage cabinetry defines the interior, eliminates its interior framed walls. In order to provide electricity, hot water and space heating, this house is completed by solar technologies. Low embodied energy and minimizes site waste are the advantages of having this house design. For further information, please visit o2 Architecture’s website or Blue Sky Homes LLC’s website.
