The stars are aligning to improve New Orleans’ Lower Ninth Ward—starchitect William McDonough and movie star Brad Pitt, that is. Yet what McDonough and Pitt are offering is more interesting than their partnership: a newly introduced module for a Cradle-to-Cradle-inspired, LEED –Platinum prefabricated home.Launched last month as an extension of the higher-end, single-family line of LivingHome modules, the LivingHome C6 features three factory-built modules and can be fully constructed in fewer than two months. Built by Cavco, the 1,232-square-foot C6 requires a one-day, on-site installation. Inspired by the mid-century Eichler Homes built throughout California, it offers a central, accessible courtyard and an open floor plan.
