Greetings and welcome to the new Method Homes website and blog. Here we will be blogging about products we will be using on our modular homes, the process of getting LEED for Homes 2.0 Gold accreditation, documenting the production of our Method Cabin prototype in our factory and the life or lack of sleep of a startup. After countless hours of work we are ready to begin building and document our process.I will start with a bit of background on Method Homes. Mark Rylant, who will be posting as well, and I started Method Homes about a year ago with the intent of creating a line of prefab houses that are factory built and architect deigned while still being somewhat organic and down to earth. We were fortunate enough to team up with Prentiss + Balance + Wickline Architects who then began working on our first model, The Method Cabin. Our goal was to create an adaptable prefab home that could be configured multiple ways and would work well as a vacation home.Fast forward many months and we have gone through design, structural, electrical and mechanical engineering(whew), website design, site feasibility, financing, specifications, building costs, real estate searches and are now in for permits and preparing to open our production facility.The prototype is going to be located in the community of Glacier Springs in Glacier Wa near Mount Baker and will function as a vacation rental, model home and ski cabin for us (whohoo).
