Book Description
Prefab Home looks at the emerging world of prefabricated or modular housing, and delves into how new advances are being made to create prefab homes for the twenty-first century family. When Michael Buchanan set out to find ways to build a house more cost-effectively, he turned to prefab construction. He wanted to pursue his dream without sacrificing his sense of style, all while staying within a realistic budget.
Prefab Home traces the home's creation from beginning design phases, through production at the factory, to placement and assembly onsite, to interior design and decoration. The whole process was filmed and featured as special episodes for "Bob Vila's Home Again," currently in syndication.
Michael Buchanan is the owner of Michael Buchanan Designs, a New York-based interior design firm that pairs European philosophies with practical and functional needs. He is also the owner of a popular antique store in the Pennsylvania countryside. His designs have been featured in Traditional Home and Better Homes and Gardens. Michael's design work has also been featured on HGTV.
