The home is a customized version of the Method Homes Elemental 1 model designed by Pardo. Typically outfitted with one bedroom, the Monogram Modern Home has the same footprint, but with an expanded kitchen and great room in place of a bedroom.

"We enable every client to customize their kitchen," Method Homes co-founder Brian Abramson says. "Everyone has different kitchen needs." For the Monogram Modern Home, state-of-the-art Monogram appliances were installed in the demonstration area and show kitchen.

The appliances in the home include a 30" Advantium Speedcook Oven and Single Wall Oven, as well as a 36" induction cooktop with a Glass Canopy Hood above. There is also a undercounter wine refrigerator.
