Entrepreneur Philippe Kahn, who made a fortune as Borland's founder and currently serves as CEO of Fullpower Technologies, is trailer trash. Okay, make that eco-trailer trash. He's had a 3,200 square foot home from Marmol Radziner trucked up in eight pieces from the Southland to his property in Santa Cruz. The ultra-modern, prefab manse comes complete with fixtures and appliances, and cost the yachting enthusiast somewhere between $300,000 and $1 million. Personally, I'd prefer one of Frank Lloyd Wright's Usonian Automatic concrete block designs which can be built on-site from local materials, but hey, anything's better than living in a tent city these days.
