prefab

Conceived as an escape from city living, this 2,580-square-foot prefab comprises two primary and 11 secondary modules, while the 290-square-foot guest cabins consist of single modules craned into place atop concrete piers.

An exercise in simplicity, the Sonoma weeHouse consists of two steel-framed volumes with ipe interiors, oiled oak cabinetry, and massive sliding glass walls that overlook valley views.

Ergonomically designed for a single person, the Ecospace WorkPod is can be the ideal home studio or office on a small urban site.

The bar-top is wrapped in gorgeous pine siding.

The master loft fits a king bed, and features an egress window and two awnings.

The kitchen and living areas are integrated together inside the large main room, yet each can still function as its own autonomous zone.

Ample natural light enters via the multiple windows. As you can see above, stylish cabin vibes flood the home.

The tall ladder lives secured against the wall, but can be attached to either the guest loft or storage soffit, providing access to either.

This built-in custom couch offers ample storage underneath.

With a sleek, contemporary profile, the Drake is equally comfortable in rugged terrain or a more refined setting. Here is a look at the ladder accessing the storage soffit. The bathroom window extends your sight-line through the space and outward.
