The results took the form of a fully modular and award-winning house, featuring an active and adjustable double-skin facade so advanced that no client would consider it. KieranTimberlake Assoicates boldly took the project upon themselves, using partner Stephen Kieran's own summer house as a laboratory. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSituated on idyllic Taylors Island, off the coast of Maryland's Chesapeake Bay, Loblolly House inaugurates a truly new, more efficient way of building. Through the use of state-of-the-art building information modeling (BIM), the architects were able to streamline the design-build process. Thousands of parts were collapsed and integrated into a few dozen panels and blocks that slid into an aluminum frame set on wooden pylons. Consisting of 70 percent prefabricated components, the kit-of-parts house was assembled (mostly with a wrench) and lifted into place on-site in less than six weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnlike most houses, even those built with sustainability in mind, Loblolly disassembles as easily as it assembles, making it an ecologically sound structure with a manageable environmental footprint. Focusing on a single built project andillustrated with extensive photographic documentation and numerous detailed drawings, \u003ci\u003eLoblolly House\u003c\/i\u003e is the manual for componentized prefab. The book includes a DVD of the film \"A House in the Trees\" by producers Rick Deppe andKathleen Blake, a real-time documentary of the design, fabrication, and assembly of Loblolly House.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Princeton Architectural Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44895603458277,"sku":"NP9781568987477","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/loblolly-house-isbn-9781568987477","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
