House Reviews(Ep.7-Paradigm Modular Green Prefab)

This modular home was designed by Bogue Trondowski Architects and built by Seattle-based Method Homes. This creative  little home of just under 700 square feet will also be certified LEED Platinum, according to Method Homes.
This inovative home design  can capture and recycle all of its own water with a Corgal galvanized steel water retention tank (5,000 gallons), Flotender’s greywater system, Infinity Drain, Axor bathroom and kitchen fixtures, and an EcoDry urine diverting toilet for composting systems. The water supports a vegetable garden with Sunnyside Organic seedlings.
The solar PV system used is a 4 kW array by LG on Sun Modo’s solar racking rest with no roof penetrations, which is installed by American Solar.
The Paradigm design is using  Insulfoam R-28 recyclable foam insulation, Thermafiber R-45 ceiling batt and wall insulation, Siga VOC- and formaldehyde-free tapes and membranes, local FSC-certified Western Red Cedar cladding and siding, a window wall by Western Window Systems, and Cascadia triple-glazed windows and doors, according to Method Homes.
