Predicting Our Future


Episode 1: Home-in-a-box

February 27, 2017

Between 1908 and 1942, Sears sold 100,000 homes that were delivered in kits consisting of 12,000 pieces. While Sears is no longer in the business of making prefabricated homes, a number of technology-driven startups have picked up the mantle and are now delivering new kinds of kits, which, once they’re put together, make modern homes. In the first episode of a 6-part series on the future of homebuilding, Andrew interviews some of the most innovative companies that are reinventing the way we think about prefabricated housing, including Andrew Dickson of Acre Designs, Bill Haney of Blu Homes, Jack Armstrong of SIPA, Matthew Stannard of Stillwater Dwellings, and Tom Sandonato of kitHAUS.
