Modern Prefab Architecture

St. Helena, California

Residents and winemakers of Napa Valley, like many places throughout California, continue to seek innovation and adaptation to a changing consumer market and a changing environment. Our client understood the importance of building an efficient and durable home that did not sacrifice one bit in the way of design and modern aesthetics. They requested a prefabricated steel house with extreme thermal efficiencies, fire-resistant steel framing, and contemporary design that would be both attractive and timeless.

For this 6,800 square foot custom project, we collaborated with Carlo DiFede of Napa Valley’s DiFede Design Group. Thanks to their beautiful designs, this prefab home was built with personalized exterior finishes that complemented the natural beauty of the surrounding hills. The interior of the space boasts a modern appeal with oversized windows that let in an abundance of natural light and warming sun, contributing to the home’s energy-efficient design. From these windows, our clients can look out onto their vineyard while enjoying all the comfort their home has to offer. 

Thermal retention is an important aspect of any newly constructed home, but especially one built with longevity in mind. Our pre-insulated steel panels ensured that the interior of the home always maintains an optimal thermal temperature at all times, greatly reducing the costs associated with heating and cooling. Also, the home’s custom standing seam roof is built to easily support a large photovoltaic system, a necessary addition should power outages occur. 

Once the project was complete, our client commented, “Ecosteel collaborated seamlessly with the building erector and our contractor to achieve a visually stunning and extremely well-constructed home. During the construction, they coordinated with the manufacturer of the exterior steel panels to replace a number of panels which had been fabricated to the incorrect size in as expedited a fashion as possible to minimize disruption to our schedule. We were very pleased with both working with Ecosteel as well as the end result of the project.”
