Today I'm taking you inside the newest prefab home in America. Last weekend I made my way to Las Cruces, New Mexico to see a steel frame prefab home that was just revealed. It's a 384 square foot studio with a wall of windows that can be opened for indoor outdoor living. In this video I take you inside one of their prototypes known as the Infinity Suite and tell you a bit about what they offer. Watch and learn more about Live BFF, the newest Prefab Home Company in America.

This is such a flexible home. Of course it depends how you are using it but this would be a great option for young adults that want to or have to move back home after college. Using the murphy bed that can become a workstation / desk would be awesome. It is also great to see that they are putting windows on all 4 sides of the home. Many ADUs you have presented only have the big windows in the living/dining area. I know you mentioned this home last week, but thank you very much for creating a video solely on this model. Great job - Kerry!

As someone who lives in a snowy area, I'd love to hear about the R-rating of the insulation. It's also nice to know which HVAC products come with it or could be compatible/plumbed/wired. Otherwise, your videos are awesome!

The Infinity Suite is a nice prototype. I like the kitchen layout even with the washer/dryer there. Was that a dishwasher just before the refrigerator? If so, that kitchen is stocked. 🏅 Very rustic interior. I think I’d go with a lighter color wood flooring but that’s just my personal preference. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I’m not worried about spiders. Sewer rats on the other hand….🐀🫣 Great video Kerry. Your walkthroughs have me glued to my screen. Nice job. 😎

Hey Kerry, I love the design and the materials that are used for these dwellings, I would lean more toward simplicity of the Scandinavian style of design. Your videos have shown plenty of these designs. My family comes from Norway and Sweden, so naturally I gravitate towards those types of building designs. Also, I am fortunate to have worked as a designer at the Boeing Company in the Seattle area. I continue to search for land on the Eastside of the Cascades, from Lake Chelan north to the Okanogan area. Aren't you just north of there in Canada? Anyway, I'll probably design my home, complete the drawings, submit them to the appropriate entities, pray that they all won't say I'm crazy, and go from there. Anyway, thanks for all your hard work in bringing this wonderful content to us. Regards, Don Wilson, Tacoma, Washington.

I don't know French very well, but I think Las Cruces means "the hors d'oeuvres." Seriously, it's great to know about Live BFF, and it's so close (I'm in Southern Colorado). I might go check them out. Thanks for a great channel!

Very nice ! Do you know if they have any single bedroom with a bath modules so you could connect them to the main unit or is that something you would have to custom order. I remember getting an answer saying things could be added but I didn't see it mentioned in the video or anything like that shown. In a perfect world, each bedroom should always have its own at least 3/4 bath.

No these are what modular homes are all about steel frames wood is used to finish the walls but from foundation to roof all framed in steel, quality, durability and precision cut. Yes they are a little expensive but as they get their production line up and running the cost will come down, remember we are headed for a big correction in 2024/2025 in housing prices! But well engineered small high quality homes will continue to sell!

@lenmoskowitz2258 7 ай бұрын

With a steel frame (having three of four-inch exterior wall thickness?) and large glass doors and windows, the obvious question is about thermal efficiency. Steel is very thermally conductive, so there's little thermal isolation from the exterior climate. And the wall thickness doesn't allow for enough insulation for northern climates. What are the R-values of the walls, floors and roof? Please tell us the U-values of the windows and doors. Do these modules sit on a concrete slab? How are they insulating the slab?

@paulpeachey2212 7 ай бұрын

you're right about the "European vibe" in the kitchen @ 5:20. Biggest fault is the washer projecting from under the counter. Having lived in rentals in Europe, the washer in the kitchen is very much indeed common, being closer to the hot and cold water supplies BUT only if it is UNDER the counter. As shown that install interferes with traffic pattern; from experience it is untenable at best, unforgiveable at worst!

@eattherich9215 7 ай бұрын

The kitchen is basic to say the least. Those slot in cookers often have gaps into which spillovers disappear that cannot be reached for cleaning. If the washing machine was an integrated model, it wouldn't project like that but does require a decor panel/door. Same for the dishwasher. Here in Europe, most of us live in much smaller spaces and the kitchen is typically where the washer/dryer goes.

Everyone has to remember these prefabs are turnkey. So you are paying for appliances. Plus new technology for better building and longer lasting with less maintenance. So some of this pays for itself in the long run.

yea ikr. i would do it very different. get rid of the stove and replace it with an in wall oven and an induction cooktop that's inside the counter, put in a dishwasher that's finished off with the cabinetry of the kitchen and replace that small and ugly fridge with a built-in fridge.

These prefab homes are a joke. Period. Housing is affordable. I just priced a 1,475 sq ft 3bd/2ba manufactured home from Clayton. Delivered price including setting minus water, sewer, electrical hookup is $108,800 USD with a four month lead time. This is the house alone which is comparable to the prefabs shown here. that works out to about $70 sq ft. No prefab company can come close to that let, let alone justify it to any reasonable person.
