Home is where the smart is.

love where you live--live where you love, the compromise is over

Introducing, minimalist+: There were always compromises to be made: settle for a so-called “custom” home (built by a mega-builder using plan #1,482) in a neighborhood that they chose, not you. Maybe it was built with care and quality, maybe not. Hard to tell. What it definitely wouldn’t be was designed for your modern tastes and sustainable lifestyle.

Or you could hunt for a lot, hire an architect, wait a year or more, spend a small fortune (or maybe a large one), pull much of your hair out during construction, and end up with a great home.

Or you could explore the world of pre-fab homes, which wasn’t a terrible solution, but still cost a bunch per square foot, came from far away, and the finished product was difficult to judge.
well, those days are done. you are back in control of where and how you live— even if you don’t have a wall street-sized bank account. you can afford sustainable architecture.

minimalist+ is an entirely new concept of home building, created just for you – if you happen to want a very smart, top-quality, affordable ($160 to $180 per square foot!), sustainably built, low-maintenance, architect-designed, innovative modern home (that goes up in half the time).

We combine the craftsmanship and on-site care of expertly “stick-built” homes with the speed, efficiency and quality control of pre-fab construction. The result (and it’s a game-changer) is the minimalist+ SiteFabTM process. Sustainable building at it’s best.

To learn more about minimalist+, visit our site or contact me. I’ve created a tag for “minimalist+” so any updates can be easily tracked. You can also follow us on twitter or facebook. Since this is an evolving development, there will be varied updates based on how it all unfolds.

So far we’ve been welcomed onto the scene. Here are a few of the blogs and articles on minimalist+:
