Prefabricated homes are a growingly popular trend because they provide a few key things that the modern homeowner is all about.
All the parts are premanufactured off-site, meaning no messy building process that lasts for months.
Sometimes, the houses are even shipped to the site with finished units (kitchen, bathroom, bedroom) and sometimes they’re assembled on-site.
Either way, the whole process takes no more than a few days. Other than saving precious time, prefab homes are eco-friendly and they sport a uniquely modern appeal.
Here’s the top 20 list!
1. All ‘Round Amazing
Prefab homes allow for some experimental shapes and designs, and the above house is a true success!
It’s stylish and attention-grabbing, but that aside, it just seems like such a fun place to live!
There’s a balance between the highly modern design and the surrounding nature, as even the house itself has its biophilic elements.
2. Modern, But Cozy
Modular building, especially when the material is recycled shipping containers, can sound slightly underwhelming, though it’s absolutely not!
While it’s true that some homeowners settle for the shipping container option purely for financial reasons where the style becomes less than secondary, it’s not necessarily the case.
The above prefab home is a lovely combination of time and money-efficient, mindful and cozy design.
My favorite part is the roof that makes the whole home look like a forest mushroom!

Its modern, angular design borders on brutalist and stands out from its surroundings like a sore thumb. It’s the best thing if you want your home to steal all the attention.
4. Biophilic Design
This home takes the eco-friendly feature of prefabricated homes to the next level!
It’s perfectly modern, thanks to the geometric decorative elements, but it’s also built from organic materials which are highlighted by the biophilic accents.
5. Between Styles
Number 5 in the top 20 represents an unusual blend of gothic, modern, and somewhat rustic design.
The choice of colors is just perfect too, as the orange wood makes for a striking contrast against the black.
6. Mediterranean Bubble
The efficiency of a prefab home is combined with the iconic Mediterranean design in the above home.
It’s tiny and modern, and the black carpentry contrasts the white stucco walls that Mediterranean houses are known for.
7. Nothing to Hide
A huge number of prefabricated homes are designed to have these monumental windows that take up the majority of the architecture.
They give the homes a particularly clean and modern edge.
And even though they may sound like a less than practical idea in real life, there are specific curtain designs and various glass coating options to protect the residents’ privacy.
8. Warm Minimalism
Wide boxy designs have long dominated the luxury homes market.
Their designs tend to be slightly futuristic, though it can all depend upon the used materials and the colors.
The above prefab home sports a pure luxury design with a warm minimalist twist.
9. Perfectly Tiny Home
There are outrageous home designs, bold, modern, antique, and all the in-betweens. And then there are homes that take your breath away simply because they’re cute.
The above prefab home sports an adorable design, and while on its own it may not be all too special, it blends wonderfully into its surroundings.
10. Green Levels

This home sports a dynamic design thanks to the way its levels are arranged. The lovely green color paired with organic wood makes it stand out even more.
11. Blinding Style
Few color combos are so striking like neon orange and black.
The bright color makes for an ideal touch to the overall industrial style of the home found in the black carpentry and hardware.
12. Eco-Friendly Elegance
While the stylistic appeal of shipping container modular homes nowadays gets more and more recognition, the vast majority of the designs are quite modern.
What if you wish to infuse your container home with a touch of classic elegance?
As you can see in the above picture, it’s more than possible!
13. Modern Organic
Both the terrain and the general surroundings can be of great help when deciding the final look of your home.
For the organic appeal, make sure to match the dominant colors of the house to those of the surrounding nature.
14. The Floating Home
Modular homes aren’t confined to the land!
It’s possible to have an eco-friendly floating home in a modern design and for a fraction of the time.
This takes the flexibility of a prefab home to a new level!
15. Modular In Mint
If you wish to go prefab while cultivating a softer aesthetic, all it takes is the right shade of the right color!
Prioritize pastels and overall softer colors, such as mint for the optimal result.
16. Making the Most of It
The vast majority of these homes have a flat roof or a roof balcony.
Make sure to take full advantage of all the features at your disposal. The owners of the above home used the flat roof to upscale their leisure time.
17. Modular Home In the Craftsman Style
Going prefab doesn’t have to go hand in hand with abandoning traditional house design.
Though the vast number of these homes we may see online are highly modern, there are some classic, homey designs out there, too.
18. Compact Urban Miracle
Urban areas tend to be overpopulated, so you may find yourself having to work with a very limited space.
The prefab method has you covered, though. It’s possible to design yourself a compact and narrow, yet perfectly practical and stylish urban home.
19. Bold Color
The color red stands for many things and one of them is definitely boldness. It’s a great color to use for strong highlights or an accent wall.
However, those bolder among us may decide to have themselves a completely red home!
Way to create a visual presence!
20. Modular Duplex
A prefab duplex home makes for a blend of all things practical and efficient.
The duplex itself is meant to save or earn you money. You may share the home with another family occupying the other unit, or even rent the extra space!
If you wish to make it all extra efficient, the prefabricated option will save you time, money, and hassle as you won’t have to endure a whole construction process on your plot.
This fact also allows the construction process to go on in a controlled environment where any issues can be promptly anticipated and fixed.
