The ‘Waterfall House’ is one of the newest sustainable designs by ‘PreFabulous Homes’ developed for a sloping lot in Gabriola Island, BC. On the three levels of the 2600 sq. ft. home is a green roof that notably decreases the storm runoff and avoids erosion. The plants used are those that don’t need a lot of water and keep a low profile. The top floor of the modular house is the master suite, which includes a den, walk-in closet, and both a tub and a tiled glass shower. The tiles used contain recycled content as used for all the EcoFabulous Homes by the company.
