Love the idea of pre-fab, but this thing is just charmless. Fake-wood plastic floors Fake-wood MDF cabinetry, with superfluous detailing Plastic benchtops Horrible overhead lighting layout. The 'LCD television-as-wall-divider' is the cherry on top of this nightmare. The problem isn't simply that they've chosen cheap, poor-substitute materials, the whole thing has been thrown together with no sense of design or cohesion. Good design costs almost nothing - Contrast it with this Australian modular / pre-fab: https://www.dwell.com/article/wattle-bank-tiny-shipping-cont... It also uses inexpensive materials (Untreated plywood for the interiors, shipping containers for the structure), but it's thoughtfully designed and quite beautiful. |

We lived for three months in a brown paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six o'clock in the morning, clean the bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down mill for fourteen hours a day week in-week out.
