Bensonwood Unveils Major Updates to OpenHome Series: Architect-Designed, Sustainable Homes for a Broader Audience

KEENE, N.H., October 17, 2024 (Newswire.com) - Bensonwood, in collaboration with acclaimed architectural firms KieranTimberlake and Lake Flato, has announced significant updates to its OpenHome series. These new home products combine world-class architectural design with prefabricated construction methods, providing a solution for those seeking distinctive, environmentally responsible homes at a more accessible price point.  

“Historically, working with world-renowned architects has been out of reach for most homeowners,” said Tedd Benson, Founder of Bensonwood. “But with OpenHome, we’re breaking down those barriers. Each of our partner teams have carefully curated collections of preset designs for exceptional quality homes that are within reach for more people.” 

Today's prospective homeowners face many challenges, including high costs and limited existing inventory. By offering pre-designed and pre-engineered products, OpenHome dramatically reduces design fees and shortens the building process. Homeowners follow a clear, structured design path with fewer decisions, making it easier and less stressful to create a beautiful, energy-efficient home. 

Both KieranTimberlake and Lake Flato contributed visionary design collections to the latest OpenHome release, along with a third collection by Bensonwood’s internal design team.  

“We’re committed to designing high-quality, eco-friendly homes built with materials and systems for a low-carbon future," said Cooper Schilling, AIA, Principal with KieranTimberlake. 

“Bensonwood has been a valuable fabrication partner for us in the past, and we are excited to now be able to offer sustainable houses to design-conscious homeowners through the OpenHome platform,” said Laura K. Jensen, AIA of Lake Flato.  

Blending craftsmanship, sustainability, and affordability, Bensonwood and its partners are making fine design accessible at a time when the demand for both affordable and energy-efficient housing has never been greater.
