If prefabs are assemblyline Fords, Loblolly is a custom hot rod, begging for mass production.' Andrew Blum for WIRED magazineKnown for their indepth research and innovative, inventive, and meticulously constructed architecture, KieranTimberlake Assoicates put its ideas about streamlining the making of architecture to the test. The results took the form of a fully modular and awardwinning house, featuring an active and adjustable doubleskin facade so advanced that no client would consider it. KieranTimberlake Assoicates boldly took the project upon themselves, using partner Stephen Kieran's own summer house as a laboratory.Situated on idyllic Taylors Island, off the coast of Maryland's Chesapeake Bay, Loblolly House inaugurates a truly new, more efficient way of building. Through the use of stateoftheart building information modeling (BIM), the architects were able to streamline the designbuild process. Thousands of parts were collapsed and integrated into a few dozen panels and blocks that slid into an aluminum frame set on wooden pylons. Consisting of 70 percent prefabricated components, the kitofparts house was assembled (mostly with a wrench) and lifted into place onsite in less than six weeks.Unlike most houses, even those built with sustainability in mind, Loblolly disassembles as easily as it assembles, making it an ecologically sound structure with a manageable environmental footprint. Focusing on a single built project andillustrated with extensive photographic documentation and numerous detailed drawings, Loblolly House is the manual for componentized prefab. The book includes a DVD of the film 'A House in the Trees' by producers Rick Deppe andKathleen Blake, a realtime documentary of the design, fabrication, and assembly of Loblolly House.
