The Picket Fence Idea Home, built by EcoCraft Homes and manufactured by Structural Modular Innovations, LLC, is a standout example of how modular construction is advancing to meet modern housing needs. Located in Pittsburgh, this three-story home emphasizes sustainability, energy efficiency, and innovative design while addressing the evolving demands of today’s homeowners.

The home was developed through collaboration with designers, researchers, and industry experts, integrating insights from Wave 3 of the America at Home Study. This survey, conducted after the pandemic, highlighted shifting lifestyle preferences, with a focus on wellness, adaptability, and sustainability.

The Picket Fence includes two bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths in the main home, complemented by a one-bedroom, one-bath accessory dwelling unit (ADU), offering additional living space. With its spacious, functional design, energy-efficient systems, minimal construction waste, and reduced carbon footprint, the home balances functionality and environmental responsibility seamlessly.

Designed to align with modern preferences, The Picket Fence combines functionality and style while maintaining environmental responsibility. “We aimed to design a home that is future-proof, meeting people where they are today while seamlessly adapting to their future needs,” Ryan White, Director of Design at Dahlin Architecture | Planning | Interiors.
