This beautiful design is as original, but not original as it gets. The Wolfback Ridge FlatPak house is another piece of the FlatPak collection from Charlie Lazor.

The FlatPak house design is based on using the same components, just in different ways for each different abode. While size has no bearing on the design of the house, the FlatPaks are based on single story 8-foot high wall panels, along with specific kitchen, bathroom and built-in storage components.

The Wolfback Ridge Flatpak is full of space and natural light; perfect for its position near the San Francisco Bay.
