Off-the-shelf glass and aluminum structure kit house
Designed by Los Angeles area architects Linda Taalman and Alan Koch, the concept is a high design, customized (with funky outFiTs) 1000 square foot kit house that takes only 8 weeks to construct. "The iT house is made up of a series of off-the-shelf parts which are internationally distributed by industry partners or locally available as typical standard construction." Two houses have been commissioned and will be build this year.

The kit includes radiant heat "smart floor," Bosch aluminum structure, insulated glass walls, plywood laminate cabinets, Bulthaup Kitchen workbench and accessories, insulated steel roof, solar power assistance, and 3M graphic vinyl outFiTs (described below).
Taalman & Koch are working in collaboration with a range of graphic artists to produce a series of ‘outfiTs’ that offer the consumer the ability to customize their space in terms of aesthetics, privacy and solar control. Current outfiT contributors include Barbara Bestor, Kevin Hanley, Jim Isermann, Kathleen Johnson, Mitchell Kane, Soo Kim & Michael Worthington, Sarah Morris & Liam Gillick, Yunhee Min, Renee Petropoulos, Purtill Family Business, David Schafer, and JR Schuler.
