pieceHomes: modular modern homes by Davis Studio Architecture + Design Prefab is Not the Answer to Affordable, Modern, and Green Homes This article was authored by guest Chad Ludeman of Postgreen Homes. Prefab homes seem to be showing up more and more in the media these days, especially with two large exhibits in Philadelphia showcasing their history this year. Like many, I hoped that prefab would be the answer to bringing modern architecture to the masses in the US and beyond. I thought that finally, modern home design would be attainable by those of us who aren’t pulling in lofty six figure incomes. Don’t get me wrong, I love prefab and many of the firms out there with cutting edge designs in the prefab realm. Below we will look at this issue from two points of view. Names and firms have intentionally been left out of this post in an effort to discuss only the facts, dispel some of the myths of prefab, and possibly look towards a better method for bringing modern homes to the average American. Prefab’s Claims to Greatness They are: OK, let’s look at each of these “myths of prefab” one by one. More Affordable. Less Time.

Michelle Kaufmann Studio HAWAII HOUSE KITS House kits are a popular way to build houses in Hawaii as they solve many of the construction issues unique to Hawaii. One of the problems when building a house in Hawaii is that key structural components and hardware shipped in from the mainland are hard to replace if they get broken or were missing from the primary shipping container. We met an owner builder who had a house kit shipped from Seattle in a Matson box. He calculated that it would save him $8000 over a kit bought in Hawaii. During construction, a key roof truss was damaged. Another challenge of building in Hawaii is getting skilled construction workers. Security is a serious issue when building a house in Hawaii as theft of construction materials is very common. Reducing the construction time can also save you the cost of alternative housing during construction and the cost of gas if the crew is commuting from another area. If you decide to build, then finding a great contractor is critical.
hawaii home+REMODELING: A Whole New Plan What if you could own a home designed by a reputable architect, using quality materials, overseen every step of the way by a skilled architecture or design/build firm — all at a great value and in a short time-frame? It’s not the stuff of dreams. Thanks to a few innovative companies in Hawaii, this scenario has become a reality. These four design/build and architecture firms have been working for years to find ways to increase the quality of Hawaii’s homes through design, construction and material choices, while controlling the cost of building. Their solutions: Predesigned homes with efficient construction plans and great finish packages, available in Hawaii today. Check out what each program has to offer. Karl Mench, owner of design/build firm Concept 2 Completion, calls his newest program, C2C Homes, “a new delivery system for homebuilding.” How it Works: Potential homeowners visit c2c-homes.com and browse the gallery of predesigned home plans (see examples, this page and next).
Cargotecture Logical Homes Welcome to Logical Homes Fifty years ago it was assumed that by now we would all be living in space stations high above the earth. Yet the future didn't quite work out that way. Most of us live on terra firma in homes that (in the rich western world) are built pretty much the same way as those constructed fifty years ago: by people standing out in the sun hammering wood together. At Logical Homes we strive to design homes that are appropriate for the era we live in. We believe that the options available to progressive homebuyers are limited and we have chosen to do something about it.
