Advanced computer technologies have the potential to radically change the way prefab houses are designed and built. One architect whose work best expresses this impending shift is William Massie. In his practice, he uses computer technology to the utmost, constructing design and components within digital space. Massies Dwell Home project is no exception: To build the house, he produced drawings and computer code that drive a variety of computer numerically controlled (CNC) machines, which in turn would construct building components. Those components would then be assembled in a shop environment and shipped to the site. Massies floor plan indicates two living wings and a sleeping area connected by a kitchen and dining area. Three distinct bars frame a large deck, which also acts as an outdoor room as well and allows for transparency between the three volumes, creating audible privacy, but a great deal of visual connection.
