We’ve been following LA-based Taalman Koch Architects and their development of a systematized method for building sustainable prefab houses for the past few years. Now, a completed itHouse has landed outside of Joshua Tree National Park in what is going to become a new planned community called Three Junipers.

There’s an on-site septic tank, 2500 gallon domestic water tank, and eight solar PV panels by Evergreen — and the home is just the right size, too. Design is paramount with the iT House. There’s Bulthaup cabinets, a Fireorb chimney, 3form backsplashes, and Polygal cladding. I really like the Sarah Morris / Liam Gillick panels, too.

In looking at the images of the all glass home, you’ll notice the aluminum framing by Bosch. The Bosch system is used for assembly line robots and test benches, but Taalman Koch found that it’s the perfect rust-proof, lightweight structural system for a smaller abode. It’s light enough to be assembled by two people. Make sure to check the blog for images of the whole process.

The house is primarily constructed of glass panels that fit into prefabricated aluminum frames, which create the effect of bringing nature indoors. Each room was specifically designed to have framed views and sun shading. Despite the transparency of the home’s exterior, its location in the high desert and the vast surroundings of rock and juniper trees will still afford the home privacy from the two other homes planned for the Three Junipers community.
