It’s been a while since we last mentioned Method Homes, but the company has built a number of green prefabs recently that deserve some mention. Last December, the company installed this modern modular home, referred to as m2, on a picturesque mountain site in Glacier, Washington.
Almost two years ago, we mentioned the first prefab cabin built by Method Homes near Mt. Baker, Washington. Now, after considerable time and research, the same company has teamed up with Skylab Architecture to create an additional and innovative line of prefab homes called Homb. The name of the endeavor signals an interesting aspect of these new green prefab homes.
About a year ago, we first brought you news of Method Homes and their plan to build a prefab cabin in Glacier, Washington. And they built the inaugural Method Cabin in about three months. Now, Method Homes, in collaboration with Balance Architects, is officially launching the Balance S-M-L Series of prefab designs with three main models: small, medium, and large. Of note, these prefab models have been designed to arrive 95% complete within three months of purchase. The models range in size from 540 to 856 square feet, and in price from $98,000 to $148,000.
When we first brought news of Method Homes in April, we were pretty excited because they were cruising along with construction at a pretty quick clip. Their design was mountain modern and the founders, Bryan Abramson and Mark Rylant, were executing on a plan to build this smart green home in three months.
Update 7/24/08 – The Method Cabin is now complete!
We have a new company here, Method Homes, that just announced the construction of their first prefab model, The Method Cabin. Method Homes is targeting LEED-H Gold certification for the five-module abode, which will be about 1811 sf with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. I’ve been navigating through the blog a little bit, studying the details of this first design, and I definitely like what I see so far. Designed by Seattle architectural firm, Balance Associates, The Method Cabin will have that trendy cantilevered roof and efficient, functional floor plans. It will also have some nice green touches with Kliptech Ecotop countertops, Bamboo Hardwoods cabinets and flooring, and the Warmboard radiant sub floor.
