Soon after launching the prefabricated modular e-BODE concept in 2004, MODABODE was invited to participate in the Houses of the Future exhibition, the major Sydney event of the Year of the Built Environment 2004. A fabulous site was secured and eager industry sponsors contributed to the construction of six pavilions demonstrating innovative and environmentally-conscious design, building techniques and materials. The prototype e-BODE, known as the Steel House, is on the left near the entrance to the Botanic Gardens. Over 120,000 people visited the exhibition, which later moved to the Sydney Olympic Park. The prototype module was finally installed on a property in the Hunter Valley Wine Country.
