The FlatPak house, designed by Lazor Office, is a prefabricated system of components that creates houses that are both aesthetically pleasing and mass customizable. The price of the house, which ranges based upon the options the consumer chooses for his or her house, includes FlatPak kitchen cabinets, a KitchenAid appliance group, FlatPak bath fixtures and vanity package, clothing storage unit, exterior and interior lighting system, in-floor heating, air-to-air ventilation system, and the FlatPak patio.
The beauty of the Lazor prefabricated housing system comes in its ability to satisfy the customer's need and specific site requirements through a mass customization process. The FlatPak operates through a series of manufactured components that form a single unit in a seemingly endless number of configurations. The consumer has the ability to choose concrete wall color and cladding materials, interior wall surface, flooring materials, and one of two bath package options. The lighting system and the kitchen appliances come standard with the house. After the foundation system is assembled, the prefabricated components are placed on the foundation and the wall panels are assembled.

I would say it is a stretch to call FlatPAk mass customized. It really fits into the category of a mass standardized. The project is a kit of parts approach in which standardized parts can be combined to produce multiple permutations rather than providing an interface or platform for customization...
