Base Station 400

Home Base Has Never Been So Comfortable, Efficient, and Stylish.

The Base Station 400 is a cutting-edge modular home designed for efficiency, flexibility, and sustainability. Offering approximately 444 square feet of living space, this system can function as a primary residence, an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit), a rental unit, workforce housing or a cozy retreat. With a passive solar design that optimizes natural light and warmth, it maintains excellent energy efficiency throughout the year. The combination of high-quality insulation, advanced sealing techniques, and energy recovery ventilation ensures that the Base Station 400 stays comfortable and climate-controlled in all seasons, delivering an optimal living environment no matter the weather. This well-insulated and well-ventilated layout adapts to its occupants’ needs with precision, providing a sustainable living experience that minimizes energy usage without sacrificing comfort.

Step into the Base Station 400, and you’ll immediately notice the sense of openness and tranquility. The thoughtfully designed layout makes the most of every square foot, creating a spacious, welcoming atmosphere perfect for solo living or a couple’s retreat. Large windows let in abundant natural light, enhancing the feeling of connection with the outside world while maintaining privacy and comfort. Whether you're relaxing in the cozy living area, preparing a meal in the functional kitchen, or enjoying a peaceful night’s sleep in the well-appointed bedroom, every corner of this home is designed for relaxation and ease. The simplicity of the space allows for personalization, making it a perfect place to unwind or entertain, while the compact size ensures low maintenance and a minimalistic lifestyle that feels freeing and stress-free.

The Base Station 400 offers an innovative approach to homebuilding, leveraging CNC Routing Technology and Assembly Manufacturing to provide a faster, smarter, and more cost-effective alternative to traditional site-built homes. The housing market is expensive, with site-built construction averaging $350–$500 per square foot, and even modular homes typically landing in the $275–$350 per square foot range. The Base Station 400, priced between $99,000–$135,000 ($222–$304 per square foot), delivers high-end design, superior energy efficiency, and long-term durability at a competitive price. But the advantages extend beyond the cost. Because it is built in a controlled environment, it eliminates common issues associated with traditional construction, such as weather delays, inconsistent labor, and material waste. More importantly, it reduces time to occupancy, arriving complete and ready for installation in just one day.
