Pre-designed homes

Start from a plan somebody has already built

Three collections, one system: Casitas, Prairie, and Seedlings. Member manufacturers develop their own pre-designed, panel-ready models — the drawings are done and the panel layout is resolved, so you skip the part where a wall system and a floor plan have to be worked out from scratch.

Any model, made near you. A plan belongs to the manufacturer that drew it, but every manufacturer in the network builds on the same panel system — so a design from Vermont can be manufactured in Missouri. Pick a model you like and we’ll source it from whichever manufacturer is closest to your site.

New Frameworks’ line of pre-designed straw panel small homes — well suited to backyard accessory dwelling units, guest cabins, and small first homes. Loft and single-storey models, with a porch kit and an interior stair kit available on the larger plans.

Here’s what ships in a Casitas kit today, as the most established of the three collections. Prairie and Seedlings kits are set by Building Integrity and Rare Forms respectively — ask when you inquire.
