Last summer, Method participated in Seattle's Next 50 Celebration as part of the project team for the Habitat for Humanity House of the Immediate Future (Read more about thehouse concept here). The net-zero ready home was showcased during Seattle’s Next 50 Celebration at the Seattle Center and then disassembled to move to its permanent location. The home utilizes panelized wall construction, which allowed for a more streamlined assembly and deconstruction process for the Habitat for Humanity team to move the home to its final site.
Flash forward to May 2013: house materials and the Method-prefabricated wet cores (kitchen, bathroom, and electrical components) were shipped to the home's final site in the Dwell Development, an eco-community located in Seattle's vibrant Rainier Valley. Habitat volunteers have been working to complete the home over the course of the summer, and a dedication ceremony will soon be held to welcome the family to their new home.
Photos above – courtesy of Chi Duong of Miller Hull – show the home nearing completion in the Dwell Development (including shots of the HRV and mechanical systems in the wet core).
It has been an honor to be a part of the project team, including The Miller Hull Partnership, Habitat for Humanity, The Seattle Center, Energy Star Northwest, and Dwell Development, among many others.
