Daniel Libeskind

You may have read about Daniel Libeskind's 5500-square-foot prefabricated home when it was unveiled a few weeks ago, but I thought it was important for us to mention the design here at gbNYC briefly before we head into the holiday weekend. Mr. Libeskind is calling the two-story house "unprecedented;" its price tag, for prefab, certainly is: $2.8 to $4.2 million depending on where the house is installed. The house will be manufactured mostly from wood with an aluminum exterior cladding and draw some of its power from a solar installation. The design includes four bedrooms and four bathrooms; a stainless steel staircase connects its two floors. The interiors emphasize a natural flow of space, including the kitchen which is part of what Mr. Libeskind calls the home's "grand room."
