This week's MoCo picks.

+ The “expandable” prefab LivingHomes by KieranTimberlake (of Loblolly House fame), what happens "if one mixed the talents and innovations of architects like Kieran Timberlake with a business visionary like Steve Glenn and set them to produce small, efficient projects that don't need a Silicon Valley multimillionaire's income to own.". Via TreeHugger.
+ Kiyonobu Nakagame Architects' houses at designboom, "a small selection of the firm's unique small scale projects.".
