The NYT Home & Garden section article reports on a pre-fab built in NY with the Austrian OA•Sys system.
Writing for the Dec. 9th, 2004 New York Times Home & Garden section, Alastair Gordon described the process by which a New York couple sought out and built a home utilizing the OA•Sys prefab system by Austrian architect Oskar Leo Kaufmann.
Their long-term ambition was to build something that expressed their tastes, something modern and simple. They would happily have worked with a local contractor, but there were only a couple available and a waiting list of several months. "It was about speed," said Mr. Hranek, whose wife was then five months pregnant with their first child.
