Many people are increasingly opting for houses that are pre-fabricated, in which the majority of the construction happens off-site. Some see pre-fab as the future of home-building, because the process takes less time, money, and resources that traditional on-site home construction.

Measuring 352 square feet, the Casita Invierno (little winter house) sits in Ybor City, near Tampa Florida. A New York City-based couple of architects uses it as a vacation home, Koones tells BI.
Since it's in a hurricane zone, the cottage was built with a sturdy foundation (featuring helical screws) that helps it withstand strong winds and heavy rains.
To save space in the kitchen, the table can fold up, and chairs can hang on the wall.
