About

Cubicco has incorporated everything we think the future of housing should be... and if you include the concept of our communities, Cubicco has incorporated everything we think the future of low impact, healthy, sustainable urbanism should be.

Green Aspects:
•Energy efficient (solar water heating-package available, solar PV panels-package available, R-45 insulation-standard)
•Rain water harvesting for re-use - for landscaping or a package is available for re-use inside home (more sophisticated filtration system)
•Vertical gardens - for our clients to grow their own food, using rainwater harvested for irrigation
•Renewable materials - wood structure from certified forest (15 year growth cycle) - we use up to 90% of the tree for LVL structure as opposed to 60% or 70% for typical wood members - most importantly wood is the greenest material we can use because it sequesters CO2 - Also cork, sequesters CO2, is a natural, organic, fire retardant, reflective material with insulation qualities

Modular Construction:
•Adaptable to any terrain because our foundation is designed to point loads that can be transferred to any foundation type.
•Customizable - we have a vocabulary of custom options for the homebuyer to personalize their home (shutters, Bahama, fixed, vertical panels and many different types - exterior fireplace for cold climates
•Relocating possible - if the homeowner chooses to move they can take their home with them
•The home can grow! we can add modules at a later date to grow the size of the home
•The homes are assembled under a quality controlled environment reducing waste and increasing productivity

Healthy Home, Healthy Community:
•We use as many renewable materials as possible
•We have maximized day lighting through the use of floor to ceiling glass in order to connect the resident to nature
•Our homes are well suited for medium density mixed use communities. The philosophy of Immune urbanism and how the correct site placement of our homes can positively impact our health and our communities health

Safety - Quality construction
•180 MPH HVHZ rated for hurricanes - highest wind speed required per chapter 44 of the FBC
•Superior seismic performance - foundation design is half the battle here but the home is well equipped for this
•Can withstand extreme heat and cold weather with little internal fluctuations due to R-45 assembly insulation
•Can withstand extreme snow loads (over 10 feet on roof)
