BSB Design has developed a low-cost, high-quality, prefab house for South Africans. The entire home is shipped in one box and can be easily assembled in one day by four people, using only a supplied screwdriver and an awl. The home’s shape is the Catenary Arch, a curve frequently found in nature, that makes the 10’ x 12’ footprint seem larger. At about US $1,500, The Abōd™ seeks to provide many families with a real housing option.

| The design and colors are fabulous. I would like to learn more about these, but did a brief search on the net and couldn't find much... do you have a URL or any lead to find more info? Like where to order, what materials are used, does it have a kitchen & bath, etc. |

Great design for so many reasons. I'm sure there will be a camping or 5th wheel option someday! |
