It's here!
We got to take a sneak peek at Michelle Kaufmann's new green prefab creation, mkLotus, on Wednesday evening. It's sitting right on the lawn in front of the Civic Center in downtown San Francisco as part of West Coast Green and it will be there through Sunday.
If you live in or around SF, we highly recommend that you swing by and take a look. It really is quite stunning. (Just remember, to tour the inside of the house you will need a West Coast Green Conference pass).
It's 700 sq-feet but manages to feel spacious. And, best of all, it has just about every green material and green technology you can imagine incorporated into the design.
Solar panels, a green roof, rainwater catchment, LED lighting -- you name it. Oh, and there's a PG&E-provided plug-in hybrid out back.
Check back here today and tomorrow for more on all that's happening at West Coast Green.

More mkLotus photos
In case you just can't get enough of the mkLotus (and I know there are a lot of you), here are some photos from Nick Thayer the landscape architect on the project. As you might expect, the photos feature the landscaping which was very well done. My favorite one is the last one in the series -- who are those guys hanging out in the back of the truck?

Never!
I was more than impressed with MK's work when I first saw it on the Sundance Channel - the more pictures, the better!
