Espacio Minga in Santiago, Chile has designed a new Prefab housing system. It has some nice contemporary detailing similar to the Cristopher Deam modular components.

Minga word, comes from south of Chile Chiloé island indigenous language, . It means a work done by all the community in help to a single family. One of most traditional mingas , is to transfer houses. As the houses are made of wood, they can be transferred in certain seasons of the year from a place to another one. They drag them in a kind of skies, thrown by great oxen couples.
But I hope to send later a thread about the architectural culture of this singular island and specially the work of the architect Edward Rojas, who has created a great work of contemporary architecture in that island.

I like the exterior, but the interior looks a little like the mobile site office too many of us would be use to visiting.

Well, the interior is quite like the breckenridge trailer, so I think the main problem is the way of showing it. If they're trying to sell a dwelling they shouldn't put desks and computers.
Also the quality of the renders could be better. It's so easy nowadays to do a good radiosity renders.
Apart from that the design is good. I find those holes in the access area very Matias klotz.

I thought maybe they showed it as a office in a rendering to show potential diversity in uses. Not a bad thing...

This is engaging, simple, clean and straightforward. It's flexibility allows for multiple uses, it is always more interesting this way, we never truly know how or what it will be used for. That in itself makes this design all the more attractive and commendable in my opinion.
