We Get It
Modern Elm is focused on introducing a new paradigm of building that honors the natural landscape while maximizing efficiency in the design/building process. We started with the simple goal of bringing high quality living spaces to more people, more quickly. We eliminate the long design process, the unknown costs, and the endless decisions and selections. The result is architect-designed living spaces delivered to you- hassle free. We get it.
Welcome Home.

Design that doesn’t make a dent.
By situating your home on helical structural piers, we’re able to create an elevated living plane that preserves the native vegetation and contours of the landscape. Using site-walls and elevated walkways, your home is beautifully integrated into the landscape without destroying it.
Delivery Day
Your home will be delivered with all walls and ceilings finished. The kitchen and bathrooms will be complete with all lighting and built-ins installed. Only flooring will be left and a final coat of paint on the inside. The exterior will be weather tight, but siding and roofing will be completed on site as final icing on the cake.
Delivery day + 4 weeks = Move in.
