The Monogram Modern Home

A place to call your own.

Web Exclusive

Last weekend, Austinites had the rare chance to visit a unique piece of design that is as livable as it is gorgeous and functional: the Monogram Modern Home, a beautifully designed container home completely furnished with Monogram appliances and top-of-the-line furniture.

The home, built by Method Homes, a Seattle-based prefab home company, was conveniently located next to Nest Modern, Austinites’ favorite furniture and accessories store.

A partnership between Dwell Magazine, an architectural publication that has provided amazing design and inspiration for 15 years, and Monogram, an ultra-modern appliance company, the home looked straight out of a perfect catalog of architectural fantasies.

Starting from the Ash Gotland wide plank floors, to the Caesarstone countertops and, of course, the seamlessly designed induction and digital electronic cooktops (an envy-inducing Jetsons-worthy piece), the house stands out with its fine details that set it apart from similar models available on the market today.

Weighing about 35,000 pounds, the home was engineered to endure hurricanes and earthquakes alike, and it’s easily transported by a special trailer that carries it city to city.

The best part of it all? This house can be yours. That’s right! If you visited the Austin tour and you liked what you saw, you can indeed purchase the Method Homes Elemental 1 model for the starting price of $145,920 (customizations are available).

But if you missed the Austin tour, do not despair, for Monogram Modern Home will stay on the road for two more final stops, visiting Dallas Aug. 21 and 22, and Boston Sept. 11 and 12.
