If you haven't heard of Seattle-based Developer GreenFab, you are about to. With their first project under construction in Jackson Park, Seattle is about to see GreenFab's first sustainable and affordable modular home.Founders, Johnny Hartsfield and Swen Grau, are on a mission to bring Green, well designed modular homes to the people at a cost that is affordable. And they are passionate about the cause. GreenFab will have pre-designed homes and will then work with their clients to customize the home that works for them.
To get a better idea of what a GreenFab prefab home looks and feels like you will be able to step foot in one soon. Their first home has broken ground. Remarkably, it will be complete only 45 days after the modules are delivered to the site. This home is a 3 bedroom 2.75 bath home with a roof top deck, attached garage and a flex area that has a kitchen and bathroom. The house has some movable walls so that spaces can be changed as your needs change. The 1,635 square foot home is also shooting for LEED platinum, Built Green five-star certification, Energy Star certification and net-zero energy.
Some of the green features include: hybrid heat pump water heater, energy recovery ventilator, rainwater collection tank, and a solar canopy to name just a few! These features are great for the planet and your pocket book.
Stay tuned! We will let you know when the demonstration home is open for tours.
