Okay, THAT didn't take long... I have a NEW prefab favorite! Drool, drool... you had me at "roof deck".

From jetsongreen.com:

It will include some of the following green elements:
• Passive solar design
• Living green roof
• Floor-to-ceiling Energy Star windows for natural light
• Skylights to bring natural light into the building core
• Soy-based spray foam insulation for a tight envelope
• Indoor/outdoor spaces made with FSC-certified woods
• Wood composite rainscreen siding
• Solar thermal and photovoltaics
• Rainwater harvesting for landscaping with Rainwater HOGs.

With striking features such as the contemporary second-floor overhang, generous windows, and upper-level deck spaces, the home is likely to receive considerable attention in the next several months.
