Hello all,
I just wanted to introduce a new company that designSTUDIO has been working with for some time now to develop a line of affordable modern modular homes. These designs take direct cues from MCM houses we all know an love. While they are definitely smaller footprints than the "norm," they are efficiently designed and would work well on infill lots or on larger expanses of property out in the rural areas. Take a look and let us know what you think! ClearSpace has very recently gone live and we are actively pursuing the first built example. Maybe you could be the lucky one to call a ClearSpace modular home.

Too costly huh?
I take this directly from Tom's site where all the prices I saw were from $600K on up except for this:
ON THE
DRAWING BOARD
Modern style
green/energy efficient
homes designed
to be built to an
affordable price
point.
These homes can
be built from the
low $300,000.
and include a long list
of high quality standard
features as well as a
seemingly endless list of
available luxury and green
options.
land costs not included.
ClearSpace homes are targeted at the $200K range, land costs not included. How is that "too expensive"? Cost per s.f. doesn't mean much if the total loan cost is a budget breaker, or am I missing something here? It is incredibly easy to bring the cost/s.f. numbers down by increasing overall size. You'll notice that the ClearSpace designs eschew this bloat for true affordable efficiency. The designs are green from the planning stages, as a smaller footprint means a smaller environmental impact, and the homes get greener from their through the standard and upgrade materials and systems.
Also on Mr. Greico's site you can see this:
PRICE
This home is designed to be as affordable as
it is stylish. The base design, which includes a
handsome list of features and amenities can be built
for under $250,000. We also offer a plethora of available
executive features and green/energy efficient items.
If you can think of it we can do it, maybe.
THE FACTS
Living Area 2495 sq. ft.
3 Sleeping Suites 3 Full Bathroom Great Room Island Kitchen
2 Dining Areas Study/Office 2 Car Garage Landscaped Courtyard
This is for the Urban Retreat. If you do the math, that is about $100 per sq. foot for a brand new architecturally designed house. In my opinion this blows a prefab out of the water. My wife and I are very interested in his product......if only land costs weren't so high in dallas
