Alchemy Architects on making prefabricated housing a reality
Scott Ervin - Alchemy Architects
Ideas of pre-fabricated housing have seen a recent resurgence in popularity, but with the weeHouse, Alchemy Architects has created a formula that is providing some of the only successful real world results in the country. By utilizing existing building systems in new and innovative ways, Alchemy Architects focuses on creating simple and efficient pre-fabricated housing that brings modern design to the broadest possible audience. Thinking forward, they are discovering vast new potentials for prefabricated housing on a not so wee scale.

Basically, basically, basically…cripes, doesn’t that guy know any other words?
On top of that, the Alchemy Architects website is flash only, so if you want to view it any other way, you’re screwed.
This is NOT the way to impress potential customers.

metolius: supposed “the single person housing” also has an option to be instantly converted into an one-bedroom apartment,or 2-bedroom,or 3-bedroom,or 4-bedroom duplex, or 5-bedroom,or 8-bedroom,etc. BY SIMPLY TURN THE KEYS OF THE DOORS BETWEEN APARTMENTS. Would you like that idea? I just have one for you,if you type in YouTube “georgewu5″I gave it a name”GREAT WALL VILLAGE” to be built over the existing millions of miles of highways to save the green space!—dancewu(dot)net

That’s the nice thing about the Weehouse; the price you see listed on the website is for the complete unit (bath, kitchen, flooring, cabinets,etc.). Of course, even there you have to factor in the set-up costs.

Check out Adam Kalkin as well– recycled shipping containers. Very cool, affordable, and prominently featured in the new MOMA exhibt. I kind of like the Wee houses, personally. Price wise, reasonable.

Yeah, the price of the “kit” looks cheaper than a Wee house, but total construction cost make it $120-190 per square foot. Much more than the $39,000 “kit” price.

This is amazing! I was on the fence of whether to major in architecture or not and this was the push I needed! I want to one day design homes like theses. There like little legos!

…the steel house stuff happened during the industrial era (bauhaus time), very relevant to the birth of steel design. learn your design history if your going to discuss it and don’t just promote new things because they go against the old.

Uh, and the average price is well over the present median priced U.S. home. You need to bring the price down, guys.

Your product would be ideal for the geographically challeged cabin site we purchased years ago, but have had difficulty landing on the “what, when, and wheres” of the deal. When I called your office, I was happy to find you had a factory in Utah. We hope to be in touch for a Wee House project for our unusual, but beautiful property. I can visualize sort of a warmer Wee House version of Philip Johnson’s own New Caanan home on our site. Thanks.

i’m a building design student in Tasmania Australia. showed yr video and some others to our class - they loved it - we are all inspired to change the way we think about designing houses in todays climate. Made the lecturer/architect fall off his pompous pedestal - haha! Keep on prefabbing!
