We’re at Dwell on Design today to give attendees a first look at home designs for our Fort Peck project. If you’re not at Dwell, you can check out the renderings below. We’re thrilled to share this great work with our friends around the world.
Make It Right is partnering with the Sioux and Assiniboine tribes of Fort Peck, Montana to build sustainable homes on their reservation. This year we will build the first twenty Cradle to Cradle-inspired, LEED Platinum homes for tribal members in need of housing. Currently, more than 600 people are waiting for homes.
Architects and designers from GRAFT, Sustainable Native Communities Collaborative, Architecture for Humanity, Method Homes and Living Homes spent four days meeting with tribal members before developing their designs.
Fueled by post recession homebuyers hungry for affordable sleek and green design, “prefabs” or modular homes can offer a sustainable, customizable and competitively priced alternative to the overpriced and — let’s be honest — not overly exciting suburban dwellings of Sonoma County.As prefabs gain popularity, homebuyers can now choose from a range of local suppliers of a variety of models and layouts. By relocating the building site to factories, the prefab solution provides a more controlled construction process and more reliable project pricing while eliminating the old model of general contractor estimates, change orders and unwelcome surprises.
Method Homes, builder of sustainable, modern, prefab homes and commercial structures, announces the official launch of the Method Homes Elemental Series Model 5. Since its launch in 2008, Method Homes has built a large portfolio of highly custom, architecturally-detailed prefabricated homes and commercial projects throughout the U.S. and Canada.
The new Elemental 5 offers 4-5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths with 2,800-3,800 square feet of living space comprised of six modules. The model was designed by Method’s architect partner Chris Pardo Design: Elemental Architecture.
Originally Inspired by the Elemental 4 design, The Elemental 5 is set up to accommodate clients with larger square footage needs who are looking for the efficiency and craftsmanship of the modular process. The design has built in flexibility allowing for a great room that embraces the natural light and views as well as the ability for a separate bedroom level. We have developed different versions of the floorplan and can customize the plan to suit individual client sites and needs.
Method Homes offers eight lines of sustainable, architect-designed home models that range from rustic modern cabins, uber-modern urban homes, and
Net-Zero ready homes to classic cottages. Clients have the opportunity to fully customize their system packages, finish options, and specifications. In addition, Method offers 100 percent custom home solutions.
“Each of our homes is custom-tailored by our architects and precision-built by our master craftsman,” says Brian Abramson, co-founder of Method Homes. “This allows the homebuyer more flexibility and customization with a reduced construction timeline and fixed cost contract that makes prefab a smart choice.”
Join Method Homes and our partners to learn specifics on searching for land, site and building costs, the permit process, architectural design, and more. Bring your questions and let our team help you navigate the building process.

The first five of 20 eco-friendly modular homes arrived on the Fort Peck Indian Reservation and are being set on their foundations this week. Founded by actor Brad Pitt, the Make It Right foundation and the Fort Peck Tribes are hoping to have the first five families moved into their new homes by Aug. 1. Plans are to have the entire housing project filled by Dec. 1.The homes, built in Washington state, are being laid down in a sustainable village project on the old Poplar airport site. They are built from state-of-the art recycled materials and are LEED Platinum standard, foundation officials said.
Method Homes is excited to announce the completion of a modern-prefab traveling show home we were commissioned to build for Monogram Appliances and Dwell Magazine.
