The Faberhaus Pavilion is a remarkable prefab cottage that has eco aspirations well beyond its deceptively versatile 376-square-foot floor plan.
With the amazing ability to provide sleeping accommodations for up to six people, the Faberhaus pavilion makes use of passive heating and ventilation and solar power to allow its occupants to live completely off-grid. The prefabricated $89,000 cabin can be set up on virtually any site without difficulty and is ready to be lived in right from the get-go.
