"OpenHome allows customization not only of size and form, but also makes flexible arrangements possible to find the best solar orientation, natural light, and breezes. Bensonwood's proprietary system of thermally complete wall, floor, and roof panels, constructed with pre-installed windows and doors, designed to perform at Passive House levels allows site-specific customization and climate- responsive design that is rare in the prefabricated home market."
