Rising Sun is an entirely factory-made modular house. Composed of five steel modules ranging from 18’x72’ to 18’x36’, the structures form a compound with a home made up of two staggered modules connected at the long sides, a garage, gallery and studio. The five units are grouped to envelop a private inner courtyard. Each module rests on just four concrete piers. Each structure and module enclosure took just five days to fabricate in the controlled factory conditions. The modules arrive on site fully outfitted with cabinetry, kitchens, and blinds, are lifted into place by crane in two hours.
