Prefab home concept appears to float above the landscape
Three configurations for one lightweight design Building on top of uneven land can be a challenge that requires some out-of-the-box thinking, but product designer Gavin Rea has come up with a simple but clever solution. Rea created a conceptual design called Tenka, a series of lightweight prefabricated homes that rest atop pillars and appear to float above the landscape.
Rea designed three configurations of the Tenka?the M1, a 480-square-foot home with a small module that sits atop a lager module, leaving room for a square deck.

The M2 is a 504-square-foot-house built from two stacked modules of varying widths.

And the M3 is a 720-square-foot design with the top module cantilevering over the base, creating a covered carport.

All of the configurations have large square windows, a light wood facade, and some form of deck. A floating staircase leads up to the second-level outdoor space, making the Tenka feel even more like a floating treehouse.
For now the Tenka is just a concept?but that won?t stop us from adding it to our tiny home wish list.
