ONE BED PREFAB HOMES

FAB ONE (fabone.org) is a planet saving initiative prompting the housing sector to design and deliver affordable ONE BEDROOM PREFAB HOMES that meet the following criteria:

• The one bed homes should at least be partially prefabricated off-site and have 30 to 50 square metre footprints...

• The one bed homes should be designed to be sited side by side (terrace style as with apartments)...

• The one bed homes should be ideally constructed using structural insulated panels (SIPs)...

• The one bed homes should be suitable for permanent dwellings...

• The one bed homes should be affordable to deliver from factory to site (will probably mean transporting kitsets rather than fully built homes)...

• The one bed homes should be affordable to buy, rent and operate...

• The one bed homes can be designed studio style or with a distinct bedroom...

The below small footprint designs are a good starting point for designers. The FAB ONE founder intends to use this website to promote successful designs that meet the above criteria. The founder is particularly keen to see successful designs aiding the delivery of more rental housing for pensioners (but the designs will be equally suitable to deliver purchase and rental options for singles and couples of all ages).
