LivingHomes had the honor of building the first LEED Platinum certified home in the US, and now they’re on schedule to deliver the first LEED Platinum certified home in Orange County. The new KieranTimberlake LivingHome 1.5 (KTLH1.5) was erected earlier this month in a single day. Located in the city of Newport Beach, we carry no doubts that the home will be LEED Platinum certified given LivingHomes‘ track record.

The new 2,200 sqaure feet includes 2 bedrooms and a bonus room. The interior features an impressive array of green systems that make this new home super sustainable including: an automatic ventilation system, recycled wood/bamboo siding, solar powered photovoltaics by SunTech, high-performance windows with recycled frames, and low-flow Kohler bathroom and grey-water plumbing.

Looking to install a LivingHomes prefab but not in California? No worries! Prior to the launch of KTLH1.5, LivingHomes went about establishing network of fabricators so they can serve nearly every state on the mainland and deliver the homes at an average price of $275 per square foot. In a rush? Also not a problem – the new owners of the Newport Beach home will be moved in within a month after install. The entire process took fewer than four months from start to finish, which beats the usual one year wait with prefab homes.

It would a good idea to include the state and country.
Is this in CA?
If so, I think less of it.

With such a simple floor plan and easy structural strategy, why was this home pre-fabricated? It was erected in one day, but that likely required one or more months of foundation work beforehand and several months of in-the-shop construction. All in all, i’ll bet that the time to completion of this project isn’t all that faster than typical construction methods, which also don’t involve massive heavy machinery for transportation and the spectacle/risk of hoisting sections into place. If it’s mass-produced, I can understand it, but as a one-off home, it doesn’t seem like a more effective, more sustainable way to build.

One of the major advantages of prefab is that while the site work is being done, your house is being built in a factory. You cannot do both at the same time with typical site construction. This allows the homeowner or contractor to save a significant amount of interest on their construction loan.
