DublDom Prefab Homes Can Be Built in One Day

With five designs ranging from a modern cabin to a five-bedroom dwelling, Russian prefab company DublDom now accepts pre-orders in the U.S.

Moscow architect Ivan Ovchinnikov of BIO Architects founded DublDom, a modular house design-and-build company, to create affordable, prefabricated houses that can be transported and installed within a single day. DublDom houses come fully equipped with electrical wiring, as well as water and sewer connection pipes, so all owners have to do is hook these systems up to their local electrical and water supply to be move-in ready.

Dubldom presently offers five different models that range from 280-square-foot studios to 1,400-square-foot, three-bedroom dwellings that work well for families.

The DublDom technology saves resources at all stages of the development and lifespan of the house, cuts down on construction time, and treads lightly on its site. 

This result is an energy-efficient, eco-friendly building that has a minimal impact on the environment.

"We believe that architecture can change the environment and people, and influence the world around us," says Ovchinnikov. "DublDom for us is a tool and an opportunity to change the world, so it is important for us to create an affordable and massive architectural product that allows us to make large-scale changes."
