Peaks Modular

Peaks Modular is a net-zero energy home now sold through BrightBuilt Home. It began as a pair of affordable, net-zero-ready home for Homestart of Peaks Island, ME, a non-profit with the goal of providing affordable, healthy, energy efficient housing on Peaks Island.

Each home was designed to be completed in about 4 months from start to finish, and be delivered by truck, ferry and crane mostly complete. The designs are compact, efficient and fit into the island aesthetic of coastal Maine while still maintaining a unique character all their own.
