The fabulous prefab homes was created especially for the Baan Lae Suan Fair, a home and garden expo. While “Green home Effects” was the theme, prefab container home by Bangkok-based firms, Site-Specific and Buatalah Studios was the highlight.

Model homes were built by four reused shipping containers and prefabricated modules. The prototype was inspired by the needs of Thai families based on the idea of comfortable and sustainably-built home.

The designer put it, “To build an earth-friendly house is not as simple as placing some solar panels on your roof”; hence, designing needs creativity and variety of materials not just only green materials and solar panels.
