Since we first started Method Homes, we have had a good amount of interest in the San Juan Islands, for our modern prefab homes. Our process of modern modular building is ideal for the islands, being built with fixed costs and predictable completion dates on the main land, and then shipped out to the site while still utilizing local island trades for a good amount of the site work. We are excited to finally have begun construction on a home for Orcas Island. The design began from the basic Method Cabin floor plan, but became customized in order to deal with the steep rocky sloped lot.The home will be positioned on concrete and steel columns, with four water tanks for the owners water catchment system tucked beneath. Also tucked below the main floors will be a mechanical room that will house the mechanical equipment to run the entire house, along with solar preheat and the radiant heating system. The home will be LEED certified, which level has not been determined as of yet. The home will also incorporate all the other basic green components that Method always includes.Attached to this blog post are a couple elevation pictures of the home courtesy Prentiss + Balance + Wickline Architects and some of the first pics of the construction in our shop. We'll try and keep you updated!
