Ray Kappe
The Ray Kappe LivingHome 2 offers ample space for entertaining, living, and dining, along with three generously-sized bedrooms and five separate outdoor spaces—all in one, sleek story.
The clean and unmistakably modern front facade features high clerestory windows for privacy, while full-height glass along the sides and rear fill the home with natural light. A signature Ray Kappe interior courtyard provides calming views from within the home, serving as a beautiful transition between the sleeping and living areas.
The open-plan kitchen and living area flows seamlessly onto two large decks, providing long sight lines and even more space for relaxing and entertaining. Stylish built-ins and large closets offer generous storage space, so you can live comfortably inside this picture-perfect, modern home.
Where zoning allows, an optional stair tower and rooftop deck can be added for even more outdoor living space. Like every LivingHome, the Ray Kappe LivingHome 2 is designed to meet net-zero standards and ships complete with best-in-class smart home technology and energy monitoring.

Ray Kappe
The late Ray Kappe, FAIA, was Plant Prefab's first design partner, responsible for the company’s famous Santa Monica home (the first home in the world to achieve LEED Platinum certification), a number of remarkable custom projects, and several LivingHomes. His residential architecture is world-renown, characterized as 'the apotheosis of the California House.' Kappe’s designs evince a mastery of warm, modern spaces, clearly expressed construction systems, and environmental sensitivity.

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.
