Great Interview

I spoked to Jennifer about 3 years ago. I had some land in SC. I was going to have here design a Swell Home for me. However I had some unfortant bad luck and was unable to have one built.

She is a very nice person and if anyone want to build a prefab home she is the one I would choose. Her designs are great, simple, and it just works ( like an Apple Computer).

Planning to build a prefab weekend home in NH. Any suggestions for prefab architects/firms who have experience in New England?

Thanks.

a dose of reality

While vice president of a New York state modular mfg. and as an architect and industrial designer, I take respectful exception to the casual manner in which $250 per square foot is tossed about as a terrific savings. Unfortunately, all the well intended (not to mention very talented) architects who have taken up this most recent fad of the semantically challenged "pre-fabricated home", have entirely missed the point, and gloss over the fact of relatively little, if any, savings in cost or time of their models. Our modulars consistently sold for $85 - $125 per square foot, and were delivered to site within eight weeks of order. The strategies with which the process realizes such extraordinary savings, cannot be learned in a twenty-five page primer. I urge all such designers to engage a more serious and professional attitude; one commensurate with the enormous potential of concept.
