Here is prefab house design idea with steel materials for modern minimalist living space prototype by Michael Jantzen. Titled Homestead House, this is a conceptual design for alternative housing that explores the potential use of a commercially available steel, prefabricated, modular, high strength, low cost, arch building system normally used for agricultural purposes.

The house is also envisioned as energy-independent, an off-the-grid green residence suited to the same remote rural environments as its agricultural cousins, complete with solar power and rainwater reuse systems made easy with the already-curved metal roofs. Configurable in all kinds of unique ways, each module can slot together to serve whatever set of individual or community living layouts are desired. Vaulted interior ceilings and semi-enclosed porches follow naturally from the curved metal forms. The use of standardized and recycled commercial steel and well-used cheap construction techniques make this not only a sustainable option but also an affordable one.
