offgrid cabins
Quick-build panelized prefab
We design comfortable, affordable structures that can be built very quickly and equipped to be partially or fully off the grid
Our distributed manufacturing system combines factory precision with the flexibility of site-built construction. Proprietary digital designs and CNC fabrication allow standardized panels to be produced in local microfactories using readily available materials and labor, then rapidly assembled on site. The result is faster construction, lower costs, less waste, and fewer of the zoning constraints associated with manufactured housing - the best of both worlds: factory precision, locally built.

Markets
Our innovative prefab construction system delivers affordable, high-quality cabins and homes for three key markets: individual cabins and ADUs, hospitality and cabin resorts, and affordable urban infill and workforce housing. Across all three, our combination of efficient design, distributed manufacturing, and rapid assembly dramatically reduces construction costs and timelines while providing flexible, sustainable living solutions.
Systems
Energy
Powering a cabin off-grid starts with matching energy supply and storage to your location and needs. Explore solar panels, wind turbines, battery storage, backup generators and grid connections to build a reliable system that works year-round.
