Blu Homes Glidehouse Prefab Home
Blu Homes Glidehouse is a single level, dual-module single family prefabricated two bedroom, two bathroom home offered in standard and customized configurations by Blu Homes.
The Glidehouse was designed in 2006 by architect Michelle Kaufmann with design features inspired by functional aspects of farm barns (Michelle grew up in Iowa). The home is focused on ease of use and efficiency of operation. A lengthwise storage bar is built into the Glidehouse wall offering practical and unobtrusive storage. Window placement and barn door track mounted cedar sun shades offer optimal use of natural light and controlled solar heat gain. Cross ventilation provides natural cooling during warm weather. Living spaces are open, light-filled and large floor to ceiling sliding glass doors offer excellent views and easy outdoor and deck access. Glidehouse homes can be purchased in the standard two bedroom, two bathroom configuration or modified with additional “pods”.
