IN PREFAB GREEN, architect Michelle Kaufmann shares her vision of creating thoughtful, sustainable design for everyone. Her firm, Michelle Kaufmann Designs, blends sustainable home layouts, eco-friendly materials, and low-energy options to create a prepackaged green solution to home design. Kaufmann tells about five eco-principles that are present in every design her firm creates-smart design, eco-materials, energy efficiency, water conservation, and healthy environment-and how each work together to create homes that make a difference.

Michelle Kaufmann founded Michelle Kaufmann Designs in 2002. Michelle's work is widely published and her homes have been showcased in a number of museums including the National Building Museum, the Vancouver Art Center, MOCA in Los Angeles, and Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry. Michelle lives in Marin County, California.

Cathy Remick has worked as a staff architect and designer for several national firms in San Francisco and Washington, D.C. She is a design manager for mkStudios. She lives in Orinda, California.

Book News Annotation:

Architect Kaufman and designer Remick specialize in innovative pre-fabricated homes, and they have written this volume for fellow designers and general readers who are interested in sustainable homes that combine eco-materials, "smart" principles and a healthy environment into a "pre-packaged green solution." The authors include hundreds of color photographs to describe green designs that conserve water, energy and space while using pre- fabrication principles to lower overall building costs. Six specific designs from the authors are presented, including the Glidehouse, the Breezehouse, the mkSolaire, the mkLotus, the mkLoft and the SideBreeze.
