Summary of Operations & Modular Home Offerings
ideabox is an Oregon-based design firm that specializes in the design and building of prefabricated modular homes. They currently offer 19 different styles of homes that can be delivered to most of the western half of the Northwest United States. ideabox’s homes are well-suited for use as ADUs & small to medium-sized single-family residences.
Design Overview
Their modern homes are often rectangular with asymmetric, sloped roofs and either modern or cabin-inspired exteriors. ideabox homes are single story, and often have smaller footprints, but they maintain the feel of a larger house, using full-size appliances, high ceilings, and strategic layouts to maximize space. Their interiors often feature lots of open space and large floor-to-ceiling windows. Many of their designs are also planned with walk-out decks to extend the livable space of their homes. Their current models range in size from 442 sq ft to 2,207 sq ft. Owners can work with the ideabox team to personalize elements like cabinetry, countertops, and floor materials.
Build Process & Timeline
ideabox designs and manufactures the homes, and then the homebuyer is responsible for finding a local contractor who will complete the foundation, sitework, permits, installation, and finishing. Depending on the project location and the time needed to secure permits, standard project times are around 10 months from order to project completion.
