LivingHome 5 Series
Architect:
Plant Design Studio
Ideal for first-time homebuyers, empty-nesters, or anyone who appreciates well-designed spaces, the LivingHome 5 offers compact comfort and ample indoor-outdoor living in your choice of two floor plans and roof variations. Bedrooms feature high clerestory windows ensuring maximum privacy, while large windows in the open living area allow natural daylight to stream through the home.
One floor plan features a glassed-in courtyard with interior garden, providing a serene separation between sleeping quarters and shared spaces. The spacious living and dining room opens up to the large, inviting back deck that’s perfect for entertaining.
The other floor plan offers a front porch, lending a hint of southern hospitality. This variation was designed for the Make It Right Foundation, when we helped rebuild New Orleans’ Lower Ninth Ward following Hurricane Katrina. As such, it can be installed on piers or at grade, and features additional decking along the side of the home for even more outdoor living space.
Like every LivingHome, the LivingHome 5 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.
We’ll even teach you how to utilize all the benefits of your new smart home through a visit from an Amazon expert, who will activate all devices and help you set up personalized routines.
