To celebrate 100 homes (and counting) under their belt, we’ve rounded up our favorite projects from modular home builder Connect Homes.
Los Angeles-based Connect Homes—a pioneer of prefab—debuted their first modular home on the cover of Dwell’s June 2014 print issue. The featured project, a 1,600-square-foot dwelling in the hills of Sonoma, California, put the potential of prefab on full display for our audience. Completed in 2013, the single-story home was designed and built in just a year—for about a third of the cost of one "traditionally-built."
Ten years—and 100 homes—later, Connect Homes continues to make modern design more accessible to more people. Delivering architect-designed, factory-built homes to sites both urban and remote, Connect’s modular offerings make the homebuilding process more efficient, streamlined, and affordable. From an oceanside retreat in Malibu to a hillside guesthouse in Brentwood, these ten Connect Homes celebrate successful projects of the past, while inspiring ideas for an even brighter future.
Connect Home 001: Connect 5, Sonoma, California
The home that started it all, Connect Homes’ two-bedroom, two-bathroom Sonoma residence highlights the showstopping beauty of the Northern California countryside. Despite being assembled from the same core components, each semi-custom Connect Home is fine-tuned to its surroundings, perfectly exemplified in this Sonoma stunner.

Connect Home 081: Connect 1, Ojai, California
Connect Homes are named simply according to the number of modules they contain. The smallest model, the 460-square-foot Connect 1, starts at a base price of $260,000 installed, while the 3,200-square-foot Connect 10 runs just over $1M. Their new Pro Series is lower cost, with models starting at $210 per square foot for production. On a rocky terrain in Ojai, California, the Connect 1 shown here integrates a site-built deck to extend the living space and embrace the rugged landscape.
