Puzzle Prefab

Puzzle Prefab is a prototype of modern architecture and green living. Designed to be energy-efficient by utilizing a variety of sustainable materials, innovative systems, and building practices to minimize their environmental impact. They were constructed at our shop, allowing for precision and efficiency, and then delivered to the site as 95% complete modular components. The sustainable carbon negative design, and off-grid energy system of the Puzzle Prefab is a look towards the future.

**A Vision of Sustainable Architecture**
Born from a radical reimagining of residential design, the Puzzle Prefab transcends traditional building methods. This revolutionary home goes beyond mere shelter, creating a dynamic and sustainable living environment.
**Uncompromising Performance Standards**
We didn't just aim to build a green home—we set out to redefine what's possible in sustainable living. The Puzzle Prefab exceeds rigorous Passive House standards through meticulous engineering:
Triple-pane windows engineered for maximum thermal efficiency
Advanced air sealing techniques that dramatically reduce energy loss
Comprehensive interior and exterior insulation systems that create a robust thermal envelope
**A Living, Breathing Ecosystem**
At the heart of the Puzzle Prefab is a sophisticated integrated greenhouse for food production
900-gallon water harvesting and storage infrastructure
Robust multi-stage filtration system providing off-grid, pristine domestic water
**Minimal Impact, Maximum Innovation**
Where traditional homes disrupt landscapes, the Puzzle Prefab treads lightly:
Diamond pier foundation system eliminates concrete, preserving natural terrain
Comprehensive solar array with advanced battery backup for true on/off-grid flexibility
Smart home integrated Systems and controls.
**Every material tells a story of environmental responsibility**
FSC-certified wood sourcing supporting responsible forest management
Non-toxic finishes when possible adhering to the most stringent Red List building practices
Materials selected not just for performance, but for planetary health
This prototype home doesn't just reduce energy consumption—it becomes a net positive energy generator. This isn't just a house. It's a blueprint for a more sustainable, intelligent, and harmonious way of living. The Puzzle Prefab stands as a prototype of what's possible when we reimagine our relationship with the built environment.
