The Method Cabin by Method Homes
Method Homes is a new startup from Seattle that has begun building homes in its factory that were designed by Balance Associates Architects. They strive to achieve Leed 2.0 Gold rating in all of their homes, and plan to create as little waste during the construction process as possible.
The company’s first home, the Method Cabin, is currently in production with an estimated ballpark cost of $150-$250 per square foot. Keep reading for drawings of the design in addition to photos from the construction of the first model:
Rustic Reuse Cabin
Many buyers of modern prefab homes purchase them because of the fact that they deliver sustainable, modern architecture and the ease and convenience of a home that is easily constructed (if not assembled prior to delivery). Paul and Scott Stankey, the people behind hive Modular, built the rustic reuse cabin over the course of 9 years at a total cost of $15,000. One of the containers is used for sleeping while the other doubles as a kitchen and storage room. Stankey claims, according to ReadyMade Magazine, that he hopes to eventually turn the design into a prefab cabin available for purchase through hive Modular.
