After two prototypes were launched, modifications were made to improve both the house's [construction times](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drop-pod) and lifespans. The residences were originally designed for poor areas in the Mekong Delta and other tropical regions. The S House 3 can be constructed in three hours an will have a lifespan of over 30 years, with the construction of a single house costing 1000 dollars. The main structure will be built in the same manner, but residents will be able to choose their own finishing details. These housing structures are also meant to act as shops, schools and clinics, essentially forming communities out of the prefab homes. The S House 3 is also planned to be used in emergencies as a form of [temporary housing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allspace-1). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Prefabricated Housing:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the construction industry through the use of prefabricated housing to build affordable, sustainable communities. - **Community Building:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating sustainable communities through the use of prefabricated housing that can be customized to meet specific community needs. - **Emergency Housing:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in providing quick and affordable emergency housing through the use of prefabricated housing structures. ### Who This Affects Most - **Construction:** Construction companies can leverage prefabricated housing technology to build affordable, sustainable communities faster and more efficiently. - **Real Estate:** Real estate companies can explore opportunities in providing affordable housing solutions by investing in prefabricated communities and marketing them to those seeking affordable housing options. - **Emergency Services:** Emergency services can use prefabricated housing structures as a quick and effective temporary housing solution during emergencies, such as natural disasters or refugee crises. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fully Recyclable 3D-Printed Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biohome3d.md) - [Reinvented Compact Living](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/affordable-housing-prototype.md) - [Affordable Housing Prototypes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiny-house-1.md) - [Modular Bamboo Housing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bamboo-housing.md) - [Climate-Responsive Prefab Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drop-pod.md) - [Compact 3d-Printed Housing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiny-house-lux.md) - [Disaster-Ready Housing Prototypes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/essential-homes.md) - [Climate Relief Temporary Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/additive-manufacturing-homes-crisis.md) - [Economical Modular Wooden Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cake-house.md)
