Pretty Fab

Prefab homes have come a long way since the Quonset Huts of the 1940's. While they still mean mass-produced, they can also mean high design--and the units can be pieced together in unique ways to suit different lifestyles and locations. Here are some of our desert favorites (inspired by the cacti we found in the flower district this weekend).
