There’s just something stylish about modular homes! Which is why so many design enthusiasts are turning to prefab houses for their living space dilemmas. These interesting dwellings are assembled in a factory, then shipped in pieces to the destination of choice, where final construction ensues.

Especially when it comes to modern design, nothing beats the price of a modular home. With lower building costs and a faster turnaround time, these prefab houses can at times be customized so you get exactly what you want! And don’t think that lower costs mean cheaper materials. High-quality is a reality in modular home construction! Below we present a collection of 8 intriguing modular houses that inspire with their cutting-edge design. Enjoy!

The Ford House

We begin with the Ford house by Ma, an offshoot of the Austin, Texas-based design/build firm KRDB. Starting at $140 per square foot, Ma’s modular homes are a budget-conscious option for those who appreciate high quality and green practices. Shown below, Luna/Ford consists of 2 modules. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms are highlights, as is an exterior deck.

The interior of Ford is clean-lined and bright, setting the stage for modern decor:

The back deck is roomy, so it’s the perfect place for outdoor seating. Better make it pretty, because floor-to-ceiling windows ensure that you get a good view of the deck from inside of the house!

As if expansive windows weren’t enough, a second row of narrow panes can be found near the ceiling, allowing for even more light to filter in.

The Blanco House

Also from Ma, the Blanco house, a.k.a. Blanco River, is long and rustic. A 3-bedroom, 2-bath dwelling, the home offers an optional exterior deck.

A closer look reveals interesting architectural detailing, like metal sculptural beams:

The roomy interior of Blanco does not disappoint. Wooden floors and cabinetry make a strong yet neutral statement, as do tall windows.

Don’t think the bedrooms of this home are any less bright than the living spaces! Below we see how simplicity=striking!

Q-House

Rincon Series

Let’s now turn our eyes to some singular style. Single-module, that is! This rectangular dwelling from Marmol Radziner Prefab can be used as a guesthouse, office, or even a vacation home! Because it’s a single module, the house arrives complete with appliances, fixtures and cabinets installed. Like all Marmol Radziner Prefab houses, the dwelling is a custom home that can be designed to meet your exact needs.

Simple style is a reality with single-module housing. Glass windows and doors keep the home from looking too boxy:

Crafted of shipping containers, Conhouse can be assembled in a single day. Use this space as a home office, vacation home, expanding home, multi-purpose home and more! Thick walls and plenty of light ensure the dwelling is much more than a shipping container. [from Trendir]
