About

When architect Antón García-Abril moved to Boston, he quickly discovered that his budget wouldn't stretch to the sort of airy, modern home he had in his native Madrid. His solution: to ship a prefabricated house from Madrid to Boston. Using video documentation to illustrate his point, García-Abril explains how his home-in-a-box could represent the future of affordable housing.
