Green Building For The Rest Of Us!
Green homes, solar power, energy efficient kits

Prefab House Projects:

Project 1: Follow the Net Zero House in Virginia casa ti blog!

Affordable Green House

casa ti:
An off-grid rural prefab house
...done in stages.

Phase 1: Fell in love with and purchased rural land. We are encouraging others to purchase those 50-100ish acre parcels in their own areas that are already on the market: to protect, preserve, and conserve.

Phase 2: Got a solar cooker.

Phase 3: Started a prefab house construction blog.

Oh wait, NOW we start to build! ; )

The first days, our prefab house kit construction went quickly.

The weathertight shell was erected, windows and doors installed, chimney put in. And then the journey of, weekenders, paying electricians and plumbers and finishing the interior over much time, at our leisure, in fits and starts, began.

But suddenly, we were full timers! And our off-grid prefab house journey of living on the farm full time began.

This retired European couple has traveled the globe, to finally find their perfect spot where they are enjoying settling down.

Built in 2018, this modified R1 Residential party house outside San Francisco sets the Tone for Fun on the Beach.

A Northeastern Dogtrot Mod

This modern prefab is being built "backwards"- a tiny house (the guest area) constructed first, then the main living areas added later.

"...the little unit is so beautiful with the Iron Grey rainscreen and windows that look in all 4 directions!  I can't wait to "move in" and start spending time in this healthy place.  A fridge, sink, and stove will be installed in the North room, all necessary to receive an occupancy permit."

[Note: Don't forget an ERV or HRV for fresh air exchange in tight, energy efficient homes!]

She mentioned the contractor did not have green materials experience, so this  is one more example of our prefab house kits adding green building skills and knowledge into each community, which makes me very happy.

Foundation Was Completed.
Affordable Green House

This family selected a rural area on which to place their prefab SIPs house. This area of Colorado has no building codes, but we made sure to engineer the prefab to not only meet International Code Council (ICC), to which our house kits are already designed, but to specifically address their area (which we do as well through a local engineer) despite it not being required.

This SIPs house is no longer an official Green Modern Kits project.
