I just went to see the show myself this past monday, and I put the best of the photos I took up on Flickr the next day. I tagged them and yesterday decided to see who else had visited and tagged their photos with “Home Delivery”. I was pleasantly surprised to see many other photos on Flickr. A great way to get a photo tour if you can’t make it to the show.
Japan Dome House Co., Ltd. - easy to assemble modular kit homes.
The prefabricated pieces, which each weigh about 175 lbs, can be carried by 2 or 3 people and assembled in a few hours. Once the shell is put together, coats of mortar and paint are applied for further protection from the elements.

Traci, the girl in the green dress, just happens to be friends with the owner of the Rocio Romero-designed LVL Home in Maine. She attended the recent open house there, met the architect and her husband, and these shots are from her Flickr photoset. I think the owner did a smashing job with it. Go see.

The House on Wildcat Creek is a custom prefab home near in Chapel Hill, NC., designed by architect Dustin Ehrlich for his parents, and built by WIELER (builder of the first Dwell Home). The exterior material choices of rusted corrugated metal, stone and wood draw inspiration from the aging local tobacco barns, one of which is sited adjacent to the house. The modular construction allowed for an efficient schedule and a minimum amount of construction waste.
