The Wedge, was designed by Studio B Architecture and constructed by BuildSense for North Carolina couple, Scott and Vikki Metheny, and their two boys. Composed of three modular parts that were pre fabricated off-site in a factory and a main two-story living area that was built on-site, the home is a total of 1,829 square feet.
From the outside, a recessed entry into the prefab home makes the delineation between prefab and custom clear, while also providing a front porch for the family to lounge. Opposite to prefab home the entry is a separated back porch with floor-to-ceiling windows, creating a space where the Metheny family can still feel outdoors during cold winter months.
According to the prefab home’s builders, BuildSense, the structure includes siding with a rainscreen that creates a building envelope that increases the energy efficiency of the prefab home. The prefab home also takes advantage of natural ventilation techniques and is sited to have optimal solar orientation.
