Germanic engineering have long proclaimed the advanced and innovative. Recognized architect and engineer Werner Sobek manages to incorporate the movement of semi-finished products. Together with his company’s engineering and design he conceived modern, prefabricated homes with a minimum number of parts. Their concept is leading to be stylish and durable.

R128 model is made of glass and steel materials and the aim is to be more environmentally friendly and can be processed. The ease with which it is produced and builds, is clearly demonstrated to Stuttgart, where a similar house was built for 11 weeks. Inside the building has no doors and walls.
