The 1,298 square foot, 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom cabin offers beautiful South facing views of Williams Creek and Grayback Mountain as well as Western views of the neighboring bison pastures. Features include sustainably harvested FSC bamboo floors, custom maple cabinetry, pine tongue and groove ceilings, a live edge maple bartop, a built-in office nook, laundry room, stainless steel ENERGY STAR rated appliances, a wood stove, and a quarter mile of private creek access.

Last week wrapped up with the foundation wall pour of our new project, a custom prefab residence in Massachusetts designed by New York-based firm McBride and Associates Architects. The wall is a board-formed concrete, which picks up the wood grain detailing.
Below shows how the board forms are constructed…
…and then stripped to reveal the foundation.
The ideabooks featured on Houzz have some great inspiration for various applications of board-formed concrete in modern design, including interior and exterior accent walls, outdoor areas, and fireplaces.
We are excited to see how the foundation looks with the home’s ship lap Red Cedar siding with aluminum accents.
Seattle-based prefab builder Method Homes has installed its first Los Angeles project, a 2,800-square-foot house in Venice Beach, and as owners Noah Craft and Belinda Tan lead a walk-through of the property, it's clear just how vast an improvement the prefab is over the young couple’s previous dwelling, the garage at the back of a century-old residence.“Nothing was salvageable in the main house,” Craft says. “It would have cost more to renovate it than to build a new home.”Craft and Tan turned to a friend, Scott Currie, a trained designer who now runs Sagrada Wellness Yoga Retreat, which appealed to the couple’s love for nature and light. Currie collaborated with Method Homes to devise a design that could be shipped from Method's factory in Ferndale, Wash.The four-bedroom, 3.5-bath home feels like a spacious wood and glass cabin, with white walls inside and cedar siding outside. The home’s interior is airy thanks to a hemlock ceiling that rises to a lofty 11.5 feet, then slopes down to 10 feet. Custom maple cabinetry is topped with muted gray recycled concrete countertops; strand woven bamboo flooring and Craft’s self-built furniture add to the home’s laid-back style.
Nothing is more exciting for Method and our clients than set day. Here’s highlights from some of our favorite modular installs around the U.S. and Canada.

Method Homes is pleased to announce the start of a new 3-townhouse development project in partnership with RITCS Holdings, LLC located in West Seattle. The townhomes are designed by our architect partner Chris Pardo Design: Elemental Architecture, who we are also working with on a number of other projects, including custom homes and commercial work, in addition to select models from our Elemental Series.The townhomes have the signature clean, modern Chris Pardo Design aesthetic with large windows oriented to capture views of the West Seattle Golf Course and south facing light.Three stacked stories maximize the amount of bedroom space with the master bedroom on the third story. The second story is the main living area with an enclosed stair tower that eventually leads to the 200-plus square foot rooftop deck. Each unit also has an individual garage space for parking – something to be coveted in the city!Here is a view of the initial exterior rending, which shows the south orientation.

Fast-growing Method Homes of Seattle is growing again — this time on the East Coast. Method Homes on Tuesday announced it has opened a 15,000-square-foot factory in Pottstown, Pa., where workers will build prefabricated houses and commercial buildings.Method Homes’ revenues grew nearly 785 percent from $520,000 in 2009, to $4.6 million in 2011. This put the company at the top of the Puget Sound Business Journal’s 2012 list of the 100 Fastest-Growing Private Companies in Washington.In Washington, employees work in a 55,000-sqare-foot factory in Ferndale, Whatcom County. The company launched a commercial division this spring; one of its first projects was Taproot Theatre’s annex at 204 N. 85th St., Seattle.
It has been an incredibly busy summer for Method. Since it is already beginning to rain again here in Seattle, we figured this is a good time to recap our Summer projects that are wrapping up. Here are a few of the highlights:In June, we set a Method Cabin Model 3 by Prentiss + Balance + Wickline Architects in Mattawa, Washington, along the Columbia River. The master bedroom module was slightly shifted and features a glass corner to capture views from the river. This project has many custom features including a cast iron soaking tub, built-in office nook, custom fireplace, and sliding louvres to shade the house from the desert sun while still allowing a cross breeze.
Right after setting the Columbia River Cabin, we built and installed a Method Cabin Model 2 on a bison ranch in Williams, Oregon. The cabin includes a custom office nook off of the living room. The office window was framed as a doorway that can connect a breezeway to another module for future expansion.
We recently completed our first Element Shift home with Elemental Architecture. The project is located in a wooded area that provides a great contrast to the home’s clean and modern look. More details and preview photos of the home can be seen here.
Mid-summer, the team and 6 modules made the trip to Girdwood, Alaska, for the set of a new three-story custom cabin designed by Prentiss + Balance + Wickline Architects. Click here to check out the time lapse video of the cabin being installed.Method Homes built a Cabin Model 1 on the East Coast in Schyuler, Virginia, a small town located at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountain Range. We are excited to announce more details about our East Coast work soon.
We built and shipped a custom home designed by Chris Pardo Design: Elemental Architecture to Victoria, B.C. The home features a light-filled artist’s studio and extensive custom built-in cabinets throughout. With the master suite and main living spaces situated on the second level, they capture views of the Haro Straight.
We have also been working on completion of the Taproot Theatre Annex in collaboration with The Miller Hull Partnership, along with many other projects set earlier in the spring.Be sure to check out our in progress section to view all of our homes and commercial projects in the works.
