Builder's Choice

Superb-A House

Venice Beach, Calif.

1 MIN READ

Architects Erla Dögg Ingjaldsdóttir and Tryggvi Thorsteinsson make modern homes that are famed for letting the inside out and the outside in. And now they bring that mindset to precision building. Superb-A House embodies the spirit of modularity—parts are factory-assembled—yet the home’s customizable modules have varied surfaces and textures so that each prefab house can take on its own character.

Superb-A House looks custom, thinks eco, and pushes prefab standards toward better design. It received a merit award in a brand new Builder’s Choice category for fulfilling the promise of what modular can be.
