weeHouse

St. Paul–based Alchemy Architects began their foray into the realm of modern prefab with a commission for a remotely sited vacation home with a modest budget. The result was weeHouse (2003)—a one-room space conceived as a modern cabin near Pepin, Wisconsin. This initial weeHouse represents the idyllic “primitive hut”—the most elemental form of shelter rendered in wood and glass. The wood-lined interior creates a warm and inviting ambience, with large expanses of glass enhancing its spaciousness while providing views of the surrounding landscape. The range of offerings has since expanded with a full line of wee and not-so-wee brethren. The module is limited to a 14-foot width and a maximum 62-foot length in order to accommodate roadway limits for delivery of the final product. However, the weeHouse line includes a staircase module that allows stacking units, deck or porch additions, and the ability to connect modules together for greater interior space. Based on Midwest production and site location, the 336-square-foot weeStudio has a base price of $54,500, and the weeTwo, a two-bedroom, 728-square-foot version, costs $89,500. The house module arrives complete, with delivery and installation extra, and includes all interior elements except appliances and mechanicals.
