Prefab 20*20: Visions for 400 SF Homes, was an international open ideas competition organized by Architecture For Humanity Vancouver, Architectural Institute of British Columbia, Interior Design Show West 2009, and sponsored by Azure Magazine.
The program challenged designers to propose a free-standing, prefab dwelling unit for a footprint no more than 400sf (37.5sm) in an urban setting anywhere in the world. Fit for two adults, its basic program had to include sleeping, bathing, cooking, living, working/studying, and storage areas.
The proposal required to demonstrate how prefab can be deployed not only to deliver shelter, but also to provide more environmentally responsible, higher-quality buildings, constructed faster, and at a lower cost.
