Portable House and Swellhouse by Office of Mobile Design
The Swellhouse
OMD’s prefab designs combine earth-friendly technologies with cost-efficient prefabrication methods. By designing non-permanently sited structures that rest lightly upon the land, OMD is rethinking and re-establishing methods of building that contrast the generic clutter that increasingly crowds the landscape. Heavily influenced by the possibilities of mass-customization, each of OMD’s prefab houses can be tailored to a buyer’s specifications, making it easier than ever for homebuyers to acquire a house that’s both distinctive and affordable.
The Swellhouse
The Swellhouse is constructed of pre-engineered steel I-beams and quality finish materials that are sensitive to you and in turn to the environment. Materials are chosen to reflect your budget and life-style. The Swellhouse is comprised of a structural modular bay. This bay is flexible enough to fit the needs of very different programs, budgets, sites, and lifestyles. Its flexibility on the land allows the Swellhouse to be sensitive to its site conditions. Its signature ‘S’ frames allow complete expanses of glass, which result in a seem-less connection between interior and exterior living.
The Portable House
The Portable House is fully permitted in the factory as a residential factory-built structure, and includes all finishes, cabinetry, and kitchen and bathroom fixtures and appliances. You don’t have to do any of your own contracting, as we arrange for the shipment, preparation of site foundation and installation of the Portable House on your property. The Portable House is a flexible and durable steel dwelling. Units can be independent or stacked two high, offset, and / or arranged in a courtyard configuration.
