Garrison Architects creates their green modular home designs from their DUMBO studio in Brooklyn, NY. Their ‘Red Hook Zero Modular’ design (pictured above) features wind and solar installations, energy-efficient HVAC and appliances. The 4,000 square foot home/office which is designed to be a net zero energy building (ZEB), is expected to be completed in late summer 2010.
The small footprint ‘Tread Lightly’ prototype (above) was created for an environmentally sensitive location next to wetlands. The structure is envisioned as a prefabricated, factory-built modular home to reduce cost and facilitate rapid production. Sheep are extra.
The ‘Koby Cottage’ (above) was designed and created for use by visiting families and children at the Starr Foundation located in Albion, Michigan. The prefab modular plan features two intersecting diagonal axis centered around the dining room table – a traditional family meeting place. The home’s weld factory-built frame features large windows and a roof deck to provide extensive exposure to nature and the environment.

Your style of presentation is very impressive. The meaningful contribution of your mind reflects on those people who are looking for new ideas and informations regarding green modular home. The value of the green homes is much higher than their counterpart standard home and the demand for eco-friendly homes is steadily increasing.Please keep sharing more and more information….
Modular green homes are constructed in a climate controlled environment, they are less prone to mold. These modular homes are better sealed and insulated improving your overall energy performance and lowering energy costs. State of the art building facilities allow our green homes to be energy sealed in areas that would be physically impossible to seal or insulate on a site built home. Thanks a lot.
