KieranTimberlake LivingHome 1
Architect:
KieranTimberlake
Shown here as three stories, the KieranTimberlake LivingHome 1 is actually a flexible design offering multiple configurations to suit your lot, budget, and tastes. Build a simple granny flat and carport, or scale up to two or three stories for a remarkably spacious and private urban oasis on the narrowest of lots.
The clever shape of the second and third stories creates secluded (and secure) outdoor living spaces, while separating the bedrooms into their own private suites. The large living room and open-plan kitchen and dining area both open onto the second-floor deck, creating a breezy, connected space that’s perfect for entertaining. Full-height windows throughout the home provide abundant natural daylight—even if surrounded by tall buildings—and accentuate the home’s chic, modern aesthetic.
The KieranTimberlake LivingHome 1 was developed in response to L.A.’s small lot ordinance, and its innovative “kit of parts” design makes it perfect for tricky, urban infill properties. Homebuyers can configure their own ideal variation, then Plant will utilize a combination of small modules and panels to ensure that it is efficient to deliver and install, even on tight lots.
Like every LivingHome, the KieranTimberlake LivingHome 1 is designed to meet net-zero standards and ships complete with best-in-class smart home technology and energy monitoring.

Sustainable Operations
Our Tejon Ranch factory operates with a small footprint, utilizing 100% solar power and resource-efficient smart lighting and HVAC, with low-flow plumbing fixtures and a water reclamation system for irrigation. In production, our advanced digital modeling drives our precision manufacturing equipment, maximizing material utilization for minimal waste. And we utilize building materials with recycled content whenever possible.
High-Performance Buildings
Utilizing state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment to produce building components in a controlled factory setting yields much tighter tolerances than manual, site-built construction. Together with precision-fill insulation, taped seams, and other high-quality building materials and practices, Plant Prefab's factory manufacturing gives LivingHomes a tight building envelope that exceeds California's strict Title 24 energy performance requirements. This means better occupant comfort and better energy efficiency for the life of the home.

Our strict materials standards, advanced engineering and building processes, and rigorous factory quality control delivers extremely well-built, durable homes.
Our Plant Virtual Build process, in which we build a 100% complete digital twin prior to construction start, ensures design, structural, and manufacturing excellence from the first day of framing to the final finishes.
Panelized components are constructed by state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment, then shipped to site or assembled into volumetric modules and finished by highly-trained and experienced tradespeople.
Materials are extensively researched and carefully vetted for durability and sustainability.
In addition to our in-house quality assurance, all components are inspected by a third-party, state-certified Quality Assurance Agency under the California Department of Housing and Community Development's Factory-Built Housing program.
Our standard homes are designed for the way you live, and they’re customizable to your tastes. LivingHomes incorporate functional details and a wide array of carefully-selected finishes, fixtures, appliances, and smart home technology for you to choose from.
Every LivingHome offers the ability to incorporate the latest smart home technology, including best-in-class connectivity, virtual assistance, home security, climate control, and energy monitoring. You can personalize your smart home experience with your choice of upgrades, like Alexa voice-controlled entertainment streaming and appliances.
