Wired LivingHome: Meet a cool mobile home

wiredhome.jpg

As much as you've come to love your mobile phone, do you think you could feel the same way about a mobile home?

We're not talking about the kind of mobile home that you're eccentric uncle Walden lives in or the RV that your grandparents tour the states with. Nope, we're talking about a hi-tech, environmentally friendly, fully wired 4,507 square foot pre-fab home. As I look at my smallish New York apartment, I would gladly make the trade and become a fully mobile home gal in an instant (and, preferably in the center of Central Park).

Well under construction in an exclusive LA neighborhood, an experiment in housing construction is underway to build the first Wired LivingHome. A partnership between Wired magazine and LivingHome, this project is scheduled to debut to the public this fall.

For three weeks, public tours, charity events, and programming showcases will take place. Major sponsor BMW CleanEnergy is even providing Hydrogen 7 vehicles for transportation to and from the house. Learn more about the project and the products being used to create this spectacular next generation of housing online..

A similar project by Royal Homes Toronto is also underway here.

Welcome home:)
