The weeHouse by Alchemy Architects is by far one of my favorite prefab green homes on the market. The weeHouse can be built in several forms ranging from a 341 sq. ft. studio to a 1,230 sq. ft. two story “tower”. Everything is built within the factory and placed on a truck to be taken to your site. The truck arrives, offloads the house onto your foundation, and you hook up utilities. Bam, you’ve got a house.

Pretty impressive. The photo above doesn’t do the house or the website justice. Some very nice photos of actual installed homes (again, people are actually buying these) are shown.

Info from Fab Prefab:

• Complete factory-built dwellings that arrive on trucks ready to live in.
• Available as studios, one- and two-bedroom, kitchen/living, sleeping, and stair models.
• Can be customized or combined to fit any need: House, Cabin, Office, Addition, Rooftops etc.
• On-site work includes the foundation, utility hookups (sewer, water or electrical supply), and simple fitting of the modules.

Pricing for Your weeHouse

Costs vary from market to market and on size of your weeHouse. Some examples below.

• Studio: $70k
• Small: $80k

The website is unique, not very proper “architect” which I guess you might expect from a group called Alchemy Architects. The only hiccup I had was some of the links did not work in Firefox. An example is the very nice brochure. Clicking in my version of Firefox gave me nothing, clicking in IE gave me the brochure.

I’d love to drop one of these off out in the middle of some vast land if I could get a complete off-grid setup going. And buy off-grid I mean internet, cell phone access, solar/wind power, clean water source, etc. And for the price you really could do that.
