For the Discerning Homeowner
Renowned Architectural Excellence
Partnered with award-winning firms KieranTimberlake, Lake|Flato and Bensonwood’s own Design Group, OpenHome delivers architectural brilliance through statement homes of distinction.
Efficient Prefabricated Construction
Built by Bensonwood, a leader in sustainable prefabrication, our homes offer precision, energy efficiency, and reduced construction time, while being adaptable for unique sites and challenging climates.
Flexibility and Personalization
Enjoy a curated design process with fewer decisions than full custom design, ensuring your home reflects your lifestyle and values without starting from scratch.
Superior Quality and Sustainability
From Bensonwood’s quality millwork to healthy building materials and energy efficient systems, OpenHome prioritizes comfort, health and environmental responsibility.
The OpenHome Process
DESIGN
Homeowners start by selecting a pre-designed OpenHome based on their aesthetic preferences and square footage requirements. Skilled design teams from each respective partner firm guide homeowners through a structured series of meetings, minimizing decision fatigue by offering pre-curated selections, finishes and fixtures. If the pre-designed OpenHome designs are not an exact fit, the designers can employ the OpenHome design system to create a
semi-custom design that prioritizes efficiency and collaboration with homeowners.
BUILD
After finalizing the design, we create a detailed model ready for our CNC machinery, specifying individual wood studs, rafters, fasteners, and more. This virtual coordination process prevents unexpected on-site issues. Next, we manufacture the wood-framed floor, wall, and roof panels including windows, doors, insulation and air-sealing. All this is done in our climate-controlled factory, ensuring precision and safeguarding against moisture exposure from the elements.
Raise
Our own skilled installation team then arrives to deliver and assemble the wood-framed floor, wall, and roof panels on-site with the help of a locally sourced crane, creating a complete weather and airtight enclosure.
Finish
Your local builder mobilizes sub-contractors to complete the project, including mechanical, electrical, and plumbing work plus the final finishes inside and out. With pre-installed windows and doors, the airtight shell acts as an accelerant to the remaining construction as it provides a comfortable, dry and secure workspace to finish out the job.
