GreenPods: sustainable living from the inside out
If you�re looking for a small modular home, here�s an idea � GreenPods. They are built for energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and sustainability. And what I like best is their design � from traditional to modern � but always full of detail, character and charm.
The Pod designs range from 300 � 800 sq. ft. However, if you�re looking for extra space, thanks to their modular nature, Pods can always be joined or stacked, according to your needs.
One of our favorites is the Salal Pod, featuring a 302 sq. ft. rustic cabin look and starts at $60,000;
the Lopez Pod, featuring a unique 372 sq. ft. hovering design and also starts at $60,000;
or the Mercer with its impressive 648 sq. ft. double height space.
One of the Pods� main goals is to visually enlarge the living spaces of the home, while reducing its environmental footprint; this is achieved via utilizing movable walls, multi-use furnishings, lighting, and windows. Also, GreenPods are FSC certified and BuiltGreen, use energy-efficient appliances, non-toxic and recycled materials for a healthier indoor environment and a healthier planet.
