I have been noticing a photo of a modern home on materials from Wired Magazine for a few months that caught my eye as the house looked like a Ray Kappe design. I see the photo all over the place on billboards and other magazines. So I was proud of myself yesterday when I was reading that it was in fact a Kappe design and the developer of the house was Living Homes which is an LA based company that is innovating in the green modular home space. The Wired home is in Brentwood and will be available for tour next month which is awesome since I live in LA. The photo above home is a different home built by LivingHomes which, I believe, that company’s founder lives in.

I can’t wait to see this house as it has a USBC Gold Leed rating and will use 36% less energy than a normal house. That is a lot of coal savings if they can achieve this in mass! The Brentwood home is being constructed literally as I write. You can check the web cam.

The folks at Living Homes say their homes cost $200 to $250 per square foot, utilizes the latest technology to maximize sustainability and the most amazing thing is that they can be assembled in a day. Living Homes has an awesome video showing a time elapsed install. Very cool. I just wish I had some ocean front property in Malibu to build one. Some day.
