    If you've been shopping for prefabricated kit homes be sure to check out the timber frame stylings of <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/fabcab">FabCab</a>, short for "Fabulous Cabin". The Seattle-based firm recently completed a two-story kit home on Camano Island. Built with sustainably sourced woods, eco-friendly materials, SIPs and an impressive facade of windows, the <a href="http://fabcab.com/products/fabcab-photos/" target="_blank">Camano Island FabCab</a> is a great example of the firm's work.

  • Camano Island FabCab
    <a href="http://fabcab.com/products/fabcab-kit/" target="_blank">FabCab</a> has a line of four different models ranging in size from a 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom home at 550 sq ft up to a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home at 1,337 sq ft.

  • Camano Island FabCab
    The homes are built from renewable and sustainably-harvested Douglas Fir, which uses less wood than stud framing. Pre-cut, SIPs (R24 walls, R40 roof) are used on the walls and double-glazed windows provide a large daylighting source for the interior.

    All the materials are digitally cut in order to reduce waste and minimize use of resources.
