The sloping terrain of British Columbia inspired the concept of modular home-builder, PreFabulous Homes’ The Waterfall house – a three-tiered prefab home designed to cascade down a hillside.
Each of the 2,600 square foot home’s three levels features a green roof designed to both beautify the home and reduce run-off and erosion of the hillside from the area’s frequent rains. As in all of the company’s EcoFabulous line of prefabricated homes, recycled materials are used in counter-tops and tile work.
Homes are fully customizable and can feature an energy efficient Hydronic heating system that provides radiant heat and hot water; energy efficient lighting and appliances; low VOC paints; and recycled paper kitchen cabinetry. Prefab manufacturing and modular home design, speed up the construction process while greatly reducing manufacturing waste.

Beautiful design but what is the cost.
the design give me the shocked feeling,good home likeness,and capacious living room.
i really like this home design.
or one could buy and renovate in the city, using recycled and eco-friendly materials, leaving fragile land undisturbed and avoiding a long commute — and extra trips into town for forgotten “necessities.” one might even be able to walk, bike or take public transportation to work.
small STILL is beautiful. my 1500 sq ft “total electric” condo cost me $36 for power last month — WITH air-conditioning use in a heat wave. and no, i don’t have wind or solar co-generation — just blinds, drapes, a box fan and the sense to put on or take off layers of clothing as temperatures dictate.
