A-Cero Composes a Luxurious Prefab in Chic Black and White
Most prefab builders have a more down-to-earth appeal, but A-Cero’s JoaquÃn Torres takes the best of clean commercial construction-simplifying materials and mass production techniques like SIPS and then employs these with such elegance that the result seems actually quite luxurious.
The result is almost other worldly. His prefab house appears on its site like a science fiction apparition of houses of the future.
A very restricted color palette both inside and out makes these prefabs very chic – simply uncompromisingly black and white.
The result is a brisk, clean aesthetic. Yet it costs no more than other prefabs.
Prefab modular housing is an idea that seems so obvious and necessary, yet, somehow, it never quite takes off. But that is not for want of trying. Though typecast as an architect only for the rich, JoaquÃn Torres directs the architecture studio A-Cero, with his collaborating associate Rafael Llamzares, with the aim of creating beauty for the many.

Good post. I learn one thing more difficult on completely different blogs everyday. It should always be stimulating to learn content from other writers and apply a bit of something from their store. I’d favor to use some with the content material on my weblog whether you don’t mind. Natually I’ll give you a link on your net blog. Thanks for sharing.
