Expanded M-Series
Method Homes and Balance Associates Architects offers an expanded Balance M Series. The M series has multiple interior and exterior finish options and is fully adaptable for various sites, locations and owner needs. The M+ consists of 2 modules with 2 size options. Option 1 is 1,000 square feet and Option 2 is 915 square feet. Both options feature 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The pricing listed is for the modular portion of the home including everything except soft costs, site work, foundation, appliances and delivery/installation. Mark Rylant and Brian Abramson founded Method Homes out of their collective experience in construction, real estate and development; passion for architecture and good design; and desire to add innovation to the home building industry. One day on the job site Mark looked around at all the inefficiencies of site built construction and thought to himself "there must be a better way." Out of that thought Method Homes was born.
Frank Lloyd Wright Continues Modular
Frank Lloyd Wright meets modern day prefab in the stunning Mod.Fab home, shown over at inhabitat.com. Developed by students at Taliesin West in collaboration with their Dean Victor Sidy and Inhabitat favorite Jennifer Siegal. The goal of the collaboration was to build a prototype prefab conducive to elegant and sustainable living within the heart of the desert landscape. It only took a single picture for us to become instantaneous fans, and from passive solar design to photovoltaic panels and SIPs we’re thoroughly impressed with the project’s sustainable elements.
