Ne­vada House 1, by Mar­mol Rad­zi­ner Prefab

Af­ter the big suc­cess of the De­sert House, a pre­fab home de­sig­ned by Mar­mol Rad­zi­ner Pre­fab, here is their new arri­val: the Ne­vada House 1. This pro­ject not only com­bine the be­ne­fits of a cus­tom re­si­den­tial de­sign with the ef­fi­ciency of factory-built hou­ses, but also clearly ex­press this change in the way hou­ses are now thought and bought. Be­fore Thanks­gi­ving, Mar­mol Rad­zi­ner Pre­fab ins­ta­lled the thirty five mo­du­les of Ne­vada House 1 in just th­ree days without a glitch. Check out their new vi­deo for a glimpse of the ex­ci­ting de­li­very and installation.

Nearly-completed mo­du­les arri­ved at the Las Ve­gas site with pre-installed ca­se­work, win­dows, doors, fix­tu­res, and wood si­ding. A crane set the mo­du­les on the foun­da­tion to create 8,100 square feet of in­te­rior li­ving space and 3,400 square feet of co­ve­red deck for indoor-outdoor living.

Ne­vada House 1 is Mar­mol Rad­zi­ner Pre­bab first two-story pre­fab home. At the same time as their fac­tory was fa­bri­ca­ting the mo­du­les, the site foun­da­tion was being pre­pa­red. The foun­da­tion inc­lu­des a sun­ken auto court and sub­te­rra­nean bas­ket­ball court, wine sto­rage, and me­dia room to create more usa­ble spa­ces be­low grade.

Af­ter se­ve­ral years of de­ve­lop­ment, the archi­tect, Mar­mol Rad­zi­ner Pre­fab, de­mons­tra­tes that it is pos­si­ble to make sty­lish and sus­tai­na­ble pre­fab hou­sing rea­lity while suc­cee­ding to un­ders­tand the cul­ture of buil­ding in Southern California/Nevada — to take ad­van­tage of indoor/outdoor living.
