ecofabulous Faves:
You Wood If You Could, Now You Can!
LivingHomes’ modern, sustainable, pre-fab designs have long been an ecofab fav – the winning combo of world-class architects, eco-friendly building materials, and incredible energy-efficiency have earned the company a host of awards and certifications, not to mention a bright gold star in our book. And while the homes have always been a great value for the price, we’re elated to announce that all LivingHomes prefabs designed by legendary architect Ray Kappe, FAIA, are now available in wood-framing for a substantial reduction in cost. This is coupled with the addition of another Ray Kappe LivingHomes design, the RK6, created especially for smaller, urban infill locations.
The same warm, modern spaces created with complete environmental sensitivity, at a new attractive price point (nearly 30% less than steel-framing), means a huge step forward for sustainable building construction. Check out the virtual “Configurator” to select finishes and systems for your lifestyle as you create your own personal LivingHome – there’s even a LEED points calculator to calculate the expected rating of your design.
Founder Steve Glenn departs next week for a cross-country speaking tour about modern prefabrication, sustainable design, and the new developments at LivingHomes. Check for dates in your area – the ecofabulous team is planning to catch him on February 16th @ 6pm at the Fillmore Design Within Reach store.
