Eco Factor: Eco-friendly prefab house.

We all know that prefabs are the easiest and the quickest means to build your dream house. But if architects go crazy as soon as they begin construction then you’ll well be putting up in a bizarre house built in a week. Antón García-Abril is taking prefab construction to its limits by developing the Hemeroscopium House in just seven days.

The house is a heap of seven huge structural elements piled on top of each other. It has a cantilevering swimming pool to make you swim in the open sky. The cantilever swimming pool is then counterbalanced by adding a similar structure over its fixed end. Check out the amazing construction video after the break.


The Dark Side:

The house seems cool for all those who are fed up with normal and conventional homes. However, the prefab doesn’t seem to protect you for long, especially if you live in a place prone to seismic activity.
