Getting Our New Modern House Ready For The Web

We are getting our first "Pod" design ready for the web. We uploaded the floor plans on our Dialect Design page and will dazzle you with the exterior look soon. The idea behind this modern house design is that, as a base unit, it is efficient and small, and very affordable to build. In addition, you can choose several add-on units to increase the square footage. You can do that right from the get-go or later in the future, as your life changes.

The base unit, we call our P.1 modern house. The actual main floor is on the second level perched over an open and covered entertainment area or carport. This main floor is perfect for a single person or a couple. You can use it as your home, a guest suite, studio space, beach house, or mountain retreat. We worked on keeping the square footage small, but offering a spacious sense of living with all the amenities.

Here is a sneak peak:

We are finalizing the design of the exterior right now and will feature it online soon. We are also going to add more detailed information on our new info service on each set of modern house plans to give you the scoop behind the scene at http://www.coolmodernhouseplans.com.

By keeping this building small and economical, we are working towards a very low construction price, our self imposed 60K benchmark. The beauty of the design is its flexibility. You can start small and grow as your life style of finances change. Not only can you build out each base unit, but by exchanging the semi-exterior stair tower with a different "connector" you can string up several units and create a larger floor plan or community of living units. Each unit is designed to be used as a fully functioning dwelling, to be subleased again as your nest is emptying or you might need to rely on extra revenue.

We will add more pieces to the puzzle as we are working along. Make sure to stay tuned.

A European Style House For An Affordable Price

The present worldwide economic strain has changed the expectations home buyers have of their houses. They need to be affordable and efficient. And they need to be able to adjust, once their situation improves again. Our new P.1 home is designed as a European style house that can do that for you.
It starts at a 24 feet by 24 feet one floor base unit. It will offer all the amenities you expect from your modern dwelling. The base unit will be designed to be affordable to build. Keeping local building cost and current local prices for trades and materials in mind we are aiming at a $105 per square foot price, giving you a European style house for $60,480 construction cost. This price will have to adjust, of course, to your local pricing standards and the final design. The cool thing about this concept is for one that it is designed to function in many different ways right of the bat. It could be your starter home, an independent guest house, a home office, a rental unit in your back yard, a vacation cottage in the mountain or at the beach, an addition to an existing house, and much more. Secondly this “pod”, as we call it, is also conceived to be able to grow right from the beginning or in the future as your needs or economic outlook changes. In other words this pod can function as a base unit that can be added on with one or more additional pods. By offering this you can have an affordable European style house that can serve any life style and change in lifestyle. If you are a single parent with in-laws living with you, a single professional with a home office, a larger family with a independent live-at-home teenager, a couple of two, or anyone else, this simple and affordable European style modern house could be ideal for you.
