A Little Traditional Prefab

We've posted plenty about modern green prefab design here at Building Green.

We pretty much love everything Michelle Kaufmann touches; we adore most of the small prefab options on the market today; and we're thrilled that there has been such a resurgence of interest in prefab housing.

It saves on so many resources, and so many designers are incorporating green materials, appliances and principles into their homes.

There's only been one problem as far as we can tell: If you don't go for sleek, modern, airy design like we do, most of today's popular green prefab might not be for you.

That's why we were happy to stumble upon Details' custom-level modular homes this morning. They're prefab and, unlike most green prefab homes, they're very traditional in appearance. Just take a look at the adorable CoHo cottage pictured above.

Details' prefab homes are highly energy-efficient (think SIP panels, tankless water heaters, and open and closed cell spray foam insulation), save on natural resources and place a healthy indoor environment at the top of their list of priorities.
