Momo Prefab
The Swedish architectural company Grasshopper has created this beautiful and stylistic prefab. It is made using 10 square meter "modules" (107 square feet) that you can put together in almost any way you like.
Each module can be put together using 13 different window/exterior walls (of solid wood) and 5 different interior walls. These choices and the ability to put one or more modules next to each other allow you to design a house that fits the environment and your personal preferences.
To spice it up you can add the huge "sail" to create an outside roof for your terrace.
Each module is around $25,000.

Looks good. Kinda funky shipping container meets millennium dome. I can just see some of these on the beach in Brighton, UK.

@ Kurt: These are rarely seen other than rural secluded areas, I think the owner would take into consideration before building it in a slum.

Kurt, I agree with Nick. Also, the style with huge windows are not that different from many other modern houses. I do not think they are more at risk.

I could defiantly see these being used extensively in the southwestern United States.

Lovely concept but what can you do about security in the case of such contructions? I ask because of the extensive use of glass.
