The nation’s capital is home to some of the most exciting prefabs in the country.

Minim lets you build your own tiny house for $35,000. Their homes are wrapped in shiplapped cypress that will patina and turn a silvery gray tone. A 960-watt solar array on the roof can be battery powered, allowing the home to operate completely off-grid.
