There’s nothing quite like receiving photos from a client from across the world.

We’ve always connected with the people we work with over a shared love of the natural world — but it’s something else entirely when they bring us along for the ride. A sunrise over water we’ve never seen. Or a flock of penguins off the coast of South Georgia Island.

Thank you for letting us see the world through your eyes. Keep them coming. 🌎

There are still some things technology will never be able to replicate!

We love capturing the energy behind a hand-drawn schematic before it’s translated behind a screen. Raw architectural talent at its finest ✨

We love seeing when our clients take on the challenge of ‘go bold or go home’✨

Working with builders and witnessing our designs come to life never gets old ✨🏡

Thank you Hissong Properties, LLC for all of your hard work in bringing this particular design into fruition!! A remarkably stunning success.

Start your new home off right with sustainable systems and materials that enable you to keep your environmental footprint small while still living comfortably in the modern world ✨

Learn about ways to do just that in our most recent blog post, found through the link in our bio!

We design homes to fit any shape or size.

Here’s one of our most recent designs brought to life that flaunts compact abundance at every corner ✨

The short answer to this is: yes

Modular construction cannot be placed on a "slab on grade" style foundation. There are a couple of reasons for this, one being that a module is always built with a floor system. In addition, there are utilities that exist within that floor, which crews will need access to from underneath (for instance, to connect a drain line to the on-site septic system). But, there are a variety of "basements" upon which a module can be placed, and they range from a crawl space (~3') to full height basement (~7.5'-9').

In a BrightBuilt Home, that basement is almost always considered part of the "high-performance shell" and as such, will be a fully insulated, air-sealed, water-proofed, and conditioned space. Often, a basement will house the mechanical systems, and can also serve as additional living space, if desired.

The height and space of a basement is, of course, site dependent (due to conditions like water table, bedrock, and more), but you will find that most BrightBuilt homes sit on and make use of full-height basements.

You can find more pop questions like these that we often get form clients on our blog via the link in bio!

We're here to help bring your sustainable sanctuary to life.
