The Dwell Kit is a prefabricated home that is both eco-friendly and luxurious. The Dwell Kit was created by East Lake Builders and boasts a surprisingly spacious interior despite its compact size. The entire structure measures only 280 square feet, but is big enough to pack in a small office, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom.
The home is made out of wood but does not look cheap. The Dwell Kit gets its eco credentials from its solar panels. The solar panels provide nearly all of the power the house needs to run with East Lake Builders saying that the Dwell Kit will only cost $104 annually to heat and cool. This prefabricated home has been designed as a low-cost retreat and can be shipped to any location and assembled onsite by yourself should you feel like trying your hand at house building.
