Ralph Rapson is a modernist architect that has managed this to reinterpret a design dating back 60 years ago with the 21st century prefab’s green panache. The idea behind the Rapson Greenbelt, which is a series of prefab homes, was taken form a 1945 design called Case Study #4. Back then this was Case Study #4 was part of the Case Study House Program of Arts & Architecture.

Today, the Rapson Greenbelt is part the modern home portfolio of the award-winning custom prefab homes provider WIELER.

The Greenbelt derived its name from the original 1,800 sq ft design’s distinct interior glass atrium. The 21st century Greenbelt comes in seven “models” between 576 and 2,660 square feet. In particular, the Greenbelt 1 is the design that comes closest to the original intention, evolving around the central glass atrium. This distinguished Rapson’s 1940s vision.

At 1,560 sq ft, Greenbelt 1 can have up to 3 bedrooms, where one of them can serve as a home office with its own entrance.

Greenbelt 1, just like the original, is a passive solar design that makes good use of natural heating, cooling and daylight.

“This is not a tower, a skyscraper, in the American sense. It is a more an emergence, rising singularly in the center of a generally calm city. Unlike slender spires and bell towers that typically pierce the horizons of horizontal cities, this tower is a fluid mass that bursts through the ground like a geyser under permanent, calculated pressure,” said architect Jean Nouvel.
