in.it.studios, a prefab house designer from UK, has designed a sustainable prefab garden house. This sustainable architecture building is completed with sustainable features and constructed from sustainable building materials. With contemporary design, this prefab house looks very beautiful.

This eco friendly construction adopts open plan concept, where a large deck area is available connected with the interior through bi-folding doors. The owners needed an extra space for elderly parents, and this 1,055 sq ft house can meet the criteria. The separation and privacy for each generation can still be maintained.

In this case, this eco construction was designed with well-insulated envelope. Some sustainable building materials were used, such as Canadian Western Red Cedar for cladding, an Accoya deck, PEFC-FSC-certified woods, etc. Most of the features can be customized. For the roof, a living green sedum roof was provided, the other choice is EPDM rubber roofing system. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide maximal view and natural day lighting, supported by a sky light in the hallway. The windows are from doubled glazed, argon filled window panes. This house is also can be completed with LED lighting.
