Go figure. The hippest prefab house on the market was inspired by child’s play. “I’m from Denmark, very close to the Lego factory,” explains architect Jesper Pedersen. His DNA European Design Studio—headquartered at the Q in Little Italy—just debuted its stunning IQ haus, a sustainable, container-based system that snaps and locks. Four different containers mean countless configurations. IQ haus—and its diminutive sibling, the IQ s-tart, now on view at Kettner and Grape—puts high design at an unbelievably low price point. “Mass production makes it affordable,” says Pedersen. ! e turnkey prefabs are fully loaded with an Italian kitchen, a freestanding tub and a flat-screen. Orders are piling up following a buzzy unveiling at the recent Dwell on Design conference, which led to a blogging frenzy.
