I'd love to purchase one of your 3 bedroom models but can you tell me if you have any 4 bedroom models with only one half bath (shower and toilet only)? I need to buy a 4 bdrm, 0.5 bath that is 1,000 sq ft, due to county zoning BS.

Thank you,

Re: iHouse

A late reply: it's iHouse not iHome -- but I couldn't find it on their site either. The correct URL is http://claytonihouse.com/ ... but they would be wise to add both terms to their main site too.

Re: Castle Brook: Castle Brook

Good catch! I'll have to check whether we uploaded the wrong photo, or whether our software is picking the image for a related model when it should be showing no photo.

Re: Prefabcosm: taking an extended break

Your site is great I wish it was still updating. We're looking for prefab addition to an existing MCM house. I think prefab companies need to look into retrofiting, remodels, and room additions in these tougher times.

Re: Castle Brook: Castle Brook

Something wrong here between the rendering and the description. It says 1 story but obviously its 2. Says 1369 sq ft but that's very small for a house that size. Says 1 BR, with all that space? I don't buy it.

Re: Oy Polykem Ab

Back in the 70's a company from St-Adèle, Qc, became an official distributor of the Venturo. Yeah, this is odd. I read that in a old architectural magazine. But from what I know, none was built or transported in Qc.

Many new designers propose similar concept today. The closest I've found is www.loftcube.net.

Re: Prefabcosm: taking an extended break

I just came upon your site today as I was researching Sears Kit Homes. I appreciate all that you did and am only sorry that it took me so long to find it. I can understand your taking a break but hope that the future brings you back to your site/blog since it seems like something you did with passion.

Re: Interlock House by Iowa State University

I really like the design of the interlock house that Iowa State University presented at the 2007 solar decathlon.
Can anyone tell me where I can purchase a prefab house like this??

Re: BeauSoleil Home by University of Louisiana at Lafayette

The U.S. Dept of Energy’s 2009 Solar Decathon was such an incredible experience for us. As a graduate student in architecture, I realize the invaluable knowledge we have gained by participating. We are so proud to have gone to this outstanding and prestigious international competition to proudly represent the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Southern Culture, and the State of Louisiana. Bringing home the market viability and people’s choice award really shows that we did our best to meet the needs and desires of the people by designing a home that’s hurricane resistant and culturally-relevant.

Re: iHouse

The claytonhomes.com website design is atrocious. I was unable to find the iHome or any of its relatives anywhere, including via the google search tool. I'd be very surprised if they've sold many of them at all.

Re: Agriboard SIPs made from wheat and rice straw

I went to agriboards web site a few months ago and they were trying to get their prduction facilities back up after a fire destroyed the old one late last year.
My aim is to see how thay have managed to get it done, and if production has started or may be soon.

I know that the government would rather use the straw than styrofoam because of the petroleum, even though the r-ratings are lower.

I've been thinking about building a demonstration house which would use some sort of SIP panels plus other green products. Have been put off because of the economics and problems getting info on some of the materials

Haven't given up yet.

Re: Empyrean International, LLC

Sorry I didn't reply earlier. I have not looked for recent news, but their site still says they are in State Court Receivership.

Lloyd Alter covered some of the history at TreeHugger at the end of last year.
