We are super excited to announce that our friends at Blu Homes have acquired the assets of mkDesigns, which owns the prefab home designs of architect and green pioneer Michelle Kaufman! Above and below are some images of homes by mkDesigns. Blu's plan is to apply their own technology to the Michelle Kaufman designs, such as mkGlidehouse, mkLotus and Sunset Breezehouse and make them available nation wide. With this acquisition, Blu is fast becoming the leader in prefabricated green homes. Congratulations Blu!

We were excited to see our friends/clients at Blu featured in an article titled "Prefab homes sprout green designs, improve affordability" in USA Today a couple days ago.
At $135 - $175 a square foot we think that you are going to be reading a lot more about Blu in the near future! Above is a rendering of their Blu Origin home design. Read the full article here.

Grain recently created a series of seven informational packets for Blu Homes (links to three examples below). The packets cover their entire line of environmentally conscious prefab homes and are available via the Blu Homes website. They of course do custom design and architecture as well for those us who so desire. It's the way we like it: built small, built green, & built easy.
Grain also did the logo and branding work for Blu prior to their initial launch back in July. So far, so good for this excellent young company. We'll keep you blogged.

Our friends over at Blu Homes have just launched their new website!
"Committed to creating healthy, efficient, and ecologically friendly homes that respect your time and your budget, BLU is a new kind of home company." They produce a wide range of amazing prefab homes full of the latest green features and technology. With the capability to build in many different locations across the US, they are definitely a company to watch.
Look for Blu's VP of product development (Dennis Michaud) at the MoMA show "Home Delivery: Fabricating the Modern Dwelling" which is starting this month.
