Contemporary Homes are precision-engineered, modern, prefab structures built with style and functionality in mind. These modular and manufactured homes are currently the most popular among manufacturers in the Western United States, in places like California, Washington, and Oregon. Contemporary Home builders are focused on innovation, quality, and lowering environmental impact. Of course, the latest in modern building practices and technology are also core principles in Contemporary Home design and construction. Many manufacturers of prefab Contemporary style homes are also very focused on sustainable materials, systems, and practices.
It’s not uncommon to see contemporary homes that look similar to what some would consider “cutting edge” stick-built homes. With modular construction, it’s entirely possible for architects to create homes that have a striking exterior appearance, unique shapes, and a highly progressive design aesthetic. In other words, many manufacturers can build anything that architects design – as long as it can meet shipping requirements – including multiple module-spanning widths and open-to-below modules for vaulted spaces. Contemporary Home builders also don’t limit themselves to single-family unit. They also often specialize in multi-family, retail, office, and multi-unit buildings for man camps, retreats, and resorts. By working closely with consultants in foundation design, structural engineering, and landscape design, Contemporary Home builders are able to cater to a wide audience with diverse needs. The end result is a highly customized, extremely modern, energy efficient, and flexible home.
