Inside the mkLotus house

Built at an all-green factory in Oroville, California, and then trucked to a lawn across from San Francisco City Hall (where in just two days it was assembled and furnished), the mkLotus house was the main attraction at the 2007 West Coast Green Conference + Expo.

Created with the goal of showing how eco-friendly a home can be, this one-bedroom, 725-square-foot prefab house uses sustainable materials throughout.
