The Whidbey Puzzle Prefab, designed by Wittman Estes on Whidbey Island, exemplifies sustainable prefabricated housing through its modular and reconfigurable design. This innovative home is significantly smaller than typical American homes, featuring 600 square feet indoors and 557 square feet outdoors, minimizing its environmental footprint. Notably, it incorporates advanced sustainable systems, such as a solar array and an energy-efficient ventilation system, and employs a pin foundation to reduce concrete use. Designed as a net zero energy home, it showcases the adaptability of prefab construction across various environments while promoting a healthy, nature-connected living experience.
"This project shows how innovative prefab construction can be. This could be placed anywhere with little disruption to the natural ecosystem and landscape," remarks the 2024 AIA National Small Project Award Jury.
"Prefab delivers higher quality construction on a shorter timeline," highlighting the environmental and time-saving benefits of prefabrication,
