An Interior to Remember

Have you ever loved a home so much that you just wanted to be able to pack it up, put it in your pocket, and take it with you? Well now you can! (Except for the putting it in your pocket part of course). “The Crib” is a prefab kit that can be easily disassembled and reassembled from location to location, and you can buy it for $126,100. With a chic colorful interior like this one (check out the photos!), you should also know it’s composed entirely of eco-friendly and recyclable materials. Right now “The Crib” is being used as an art studio and a lab in Bethesda, Maryland. Be sure to catch the video on page 3!

The Crib is an environmentally responsible, prefab kit building of 250 square feet. It’s shaped like a traditional farm building used to store corn, a corn crib. The similarities end there. This Crib built on the grounds of Strathmore, a performance venue in Bethesda, Maryland, is used as an art studio, a gallery, and a lab. Designed by Broadhurst Architects, the roof gable is framed in steel, a light and modern nod to its wood predecessors. Laminated wood beams support the steel roof and loft frame.
The Full Crib includes 140 square feet of grated deck, frame, and rails, for additional living space.
An aluminum entrance system, overhead garage door, a ship ladder or ramp (depending on your site conditions), and a concrete or concrete masonry unit foundation are all included in the Full Crib.
