This model house was located on the roof garden of the Rainier Square Shopping Plaza.

Financed by Unico Properties, this 2-floor modular house--produced in a factory in Burlington, WA--was lifted onto the rooftop park at Rainier Square where the public could inspect it during 10-11/2007. In concept, it reflects other modular housing (patterned on shipping containers) that could be easily transported and assembled at low cost.

Th Inhabit Model Apartment was 15-feet by 45 feet and could be stacked up to five units high and 20 wide to create apartment buildings of 100 modular units. The target audience was in urban neighborhoods of Seattle, WA, and Portland, OR.
