Style with Color

Some choose bright colors and others choose modern neutrals, but each brings a unique style.

The LV Home
Rocio Romero built the first prototype for her LV home when she was living in Chile in 1999. Because construction is cheaper there, she was able to build the small, modern house for $35,000. When she returned to the United States, she wanted to figure out how to make a similar home for the same amount of money. Her solution was to design a pre-fab home to minimize labor. Romero is now working on an even smaller version called the LV mini!

Glass Galore
« Candy-Colored Dreams | Modern Floor Plan »
The LV is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom, freestanding home that is designed to look much bigger than it is, by using high ceilings and lots of glass. All of the functional parts of the house are tucked into the spaces without windows—a small wall for the kitchen and an enclosed cube for the bathrooms. This allows the main living spaces to have large glass sliding doors, visually and psychologically borrowing space from the outdoors. With all that glass, Romero has still found a way to incorporate lots of covered storage to keep everything tucked away.
