modular dwellings (blueprints to construct your own)

wouldn't it be great to have one of these in your backyard--a reading shack, a small office, a zen hideout, a lover's den?





these nifty, modern blueprints for the "do-it-yourself" person are unleashed at modular dwellings and can be purchased through Ready Made magazine. They were created by SF-based Edgar Blazona. The rooms can be constructed from Plexiglas, steel, and prefinished plywood. The cost is ~ $1,500.

"Edgar Blazona is a furniture designer, builder and welder whose prefabricated Modular Dwellings (MD) - also available in kit form for do-it-yourself types - have become especially popular with spas. Many of the tiny "modern shacks" have loft or pull-out beds and small architectural details missing from many larger homes - corner windows, translucent fiberglass walls, and ventilation solutions that are as useful as they are attractive."
