This Ultra Modern PREFAB HOME is Officially In North America

2022 has been a very exciting year for the prefab home industry with new companies, designs and ideas flooding the space. A new to us company out of Europe is entering the North American market by way of a licensee called Big Sun Modular. The company is called Coodo and I think their lineup of futuristic modular homes have a unique and cool look. In this video I talk a bit about the company LTG lofts to go, their creation Coodo and one of the models available in North America. Watch and learn more about what I think is one of the coolest prefab homes available and some of the different uses they propose for their product. The prefab home industry is extremely fun to watch right now and I think it's only getting started!

Coodo, was the first home of this type I saw advertised probably 2017 or there abouts. You can stack them, float them ( they fit onto a pontoon if you have a lake to hand) and come with other units in the same design ascetic. So easy to co-ordinate if you have the land /space /cash to spare. Keep up the good work Kerry, your content on this channel just keeps getting better. So much choice now. Exciting times for the small home market.

[@lauriefrancisco1084]

I love those homes. Looks super cool and well laid out! Love the big windows on the front. I hope it's affordable enough to be able to add the pergola and the rooftop deck. Looking forward to the updates!

[@ameobiamicrobiological2366]

I would like you to find out where the washer and dryer would be in this Koodoo Moon, the floor plan doesn't seem to have a place for it that I could tell!

[@eddiesimmons9690]

Cool!

[@teach1644]

Wash tub behind the fart box.

[@katherineganley7806]

Agreed. Laundry?

[@pilgrimlady8196]

Probably outside.

[@maggielemons4883]

I really love this home, the amount of windows and the option to add on to the home. Be blessed and be safe

[@markalancirino]

I was excited about these homes so I inquired. The "Moon" in the US starts at $280K, plus site prep. You're looking at about $1K a square foot. Way too much for my budget, but I'm sure they'll find buyers.

[@snake21ab]

all coodos starts at about 2300 € / sqm

[@derek4177]

Holy shit. I mean thats total overpriced in my opinion. You can just get a nice family home for that price in some areas, with a solid structure and way more space.

[@Angelsilhouette]

Glad to see you do a video on them, too. When I saw them on Bigsun after your last video I was pretty impressed. Look forward to hearing about prices and whether or not they could stand up to hurricanes or mid-latitude cyclones (and what category)

[@austenmueller2234]

Love this movement. Great content. Thanks for keeping us informed. Can’t wait to have my own.

[@KerryTarnow]

Thank you! Glad you’re enjoying the content

[@deborahhaydon771]

Thank you. I think it is cool too! Love the layout!

[@garylenenichols2491]

I just saw a coodo in McCall Idaho overlooking Payette Lake. Interesting structure. It was still on the truck when I passed by.

[@allwheeldrive]

The Coodo Moon cost appears to start (or be) around €2300 per square meter, or $2415 per square meter. The Moon is 32 square meters, or 345 square feet. The Moon cost is about €73,600, or about $75,000. There are 10.75 square feet in a square meter. LTG lofts to go is headquartered in Hamberg Germany (or Estonia). A key partner in the company is the Black Buffalo 3D Corporation, hq'd in NY, NY. They are a Big Sun Holdings Group company and member of Hyundai BS&C. Some of the available information is a bit confusing, but it looks like it's at least got some actual potential to deliver as stated at some point in the near-ish future.

[@marianl3447]

i love so much what he highlights and how he explains things...really helps us to know what we might otherwise miss in considering what works best for our own situations. I wasn't as interested in these before but now I am..and way more than thought i would be... ...either i am listening better or he included somethings i didn't know. Glad i decided to watch. Love the add on and take away options as well as the insulation quality and other things. I like both...separate bedrooms AND those as part of a more open spaced arrangement. I very much need both shower and bath...but there is something portable , that even folds up to story , and that can be put in a shower making a tub in it. Might see if i can find it....where i read about it lots of years ago and not sure where .

[@Transterra55]

I LOVE the look and all the windows.........and roof terrace!

[@zennihome6405]

Another great video. Have been following these guys for 4 years or so, they really have a great product!

Thanks 🙌🏼

[@bmk9844]

I absolutely adore Coodo. I am ready to purchase for about $500K + Land, and I was stuck on Boxbl. However, this is my new observation. Because I will be building on the shore of Lake Michigan, I find all of their structures absolutely perfect for me.

[@sunnysmilessunshine4060]

I LOVE the style/curves/look. WOW! I can just envision 20 Acres with these homes with gardens & plenty of Trees. . . Oh My! Gotta find some land~ Thanks for exploring all the options & keeping us up to date~

Overall great job man, keep it going that being said there's a lot of information 'Vital Information" that always seems to be omitted. I get that you have to keep it fresh and keep the content coming but dude if you look online for modern prefab home your bombarded with company after company nobody knows where to begin, why is it so hard if there's so many companies that are doing this in the US and abroad to see people doing it from beginning to end online and end up with a smile on their faces and do it for less than $250,000?. We appreciate your Channel my friend keep it going thanks bro

Agreed, he's doing a great job but it just seems like it's company after company that are rendering computer examples of what they are thinking about making or something that's being made in Korea or the other side of the world, I want to see some beginning to end super modern on the cheap and where can we buy the land for this how much does it cost what else do we need I think Karrie can go far if he starts branching out

[@gregduhon5510]

I like it. Hope they will consider a circular model in the future.

[@thomas6502]

Thanks Kerry! One thought I've heard echoed as we educate ourselves on modular/mobile options is that products in this space are non-standard and therefore difficult to repair, retrofit, or hmmm... "...get the strange smell out of years later....??" * shrugs * As a fan who is becoming more and more enamored with this category, is there any merit to these suggestions? Your thoughts and experiences are appreciated as always! Keep up the great work, and entertaining videos! Thanks again sir.

[@mathieuduval7544]

This may be a "stupid" comment/ question.... but why are you not starting your own prefab tiny home company!? With all the videos you made, im pretty sure you have a lot of good ideas... with all the videos i watched, i have a lot of good ideas ;)

[@paulcupp231]

As most prefab homes need some sort of foundation put down before the home is brought out, I am curious as to how they will add and subtract modules.

[@eskanderx1027]

Great stuff. Any idea how much for the moon in Europe?

[@Erin-Thor]

Flat roofs aren’t just a preference, it’s a need. A few neighbors in my area in Colorado used flat roof modular/tiny homes, and when we had a heavy snow their roofs either bowed, cracked or collapsed.

[@davidbagley1783]

Life requires thinking

[@hollywoodguy70]

That's why snowy region homes have always had A-frames. Flat roof homes are more suited for warmer climates.

[@michaelcoughlin8238]

I've seen a few modern brands like this. I'd like to rent some out. However, what is never approached is a garage and/or shed type structure. You need someplace to put your lawnmower to keep the grass down so you can walk down to the lake ;), if not a place to park your car to keep the snow off.

[@KerryTarnow]

That's a great point. In Europe they offer smaller accessory structures, not sure if those will be available in North America right away.

[@10basetom]

Reminds me of Nestron prefabs.

[@KerryTarnow]

Similar futuristic look for sure

[@sarinaglover3712]

I like the one you call the moon I like the idea that let's say it cuz I'm somebody who's going to want that separate space for a bedroom and whatnot but I also like that I can add to it like for example I would like a guest bedroom and maybe an office I like this particular one I'm usually not into the more futuristic looking but these look actually nice

[@faymorrell9722]

Any chance of the coodoo vexing available in Australia?

[@LD-lddh]

Love the look, but I wonder if anyone else thinks that the bathroom needs to be next to the bedroom?

[@ShakaCthulu]

They look like Nestor’s homes, but with the benefit of having a domestic manufacturing facility. The Nestor stuff has to be shipped from Singapore I believe.

[@JantiqueB]

Would you please do a program on window privacy options (especially at night) for prefab homes built in neighborhoods? Thanks!

[@KerryTarnow]

Good idea!

[@bbhomebody]

Wow amazing look! And even a bedroom. Fingers crossed on the price 😄

[@KerryTarnow]

Stand by for pricing. Thanks for watching

[@marianl3447]

me too

[@snake21ab]

sun A coodo front consists of durable, double or triple glazed aluminum frame windows and doors. This gives you an unobstructed view of nature. The price per square meter for all coodos starts at about 2300 €, exact prices on request. moon The smallest moon modul is 32 sqm, it can grow to 64 sqm and 96 sqm by adding more modules. The square meter price for all coodos is about 2300 €, exact prices on request. earth so basically is 2300 € / sqm

[@fullyleaded]

Im not clear. are these available to buy now in UK ?

[@karenromero1703]

In Texas a modular home has to be registered in Texas and factory inspected many times.

[@lmlm_]

What I dislike about many prefab models I've seen is there are usually windows (natural light/ventilation/views) on only one side of the structure. It makes it feel boxed in and cut off from the opposite side of your property.

[@billkemp9315]

Yes, love their design and look, I want one. Prices here in the US?

[@KerryTarnow]

Waiting on prices. Thanks for watching 🙌🏼

[@bm5906]

needs windows on both ends, especialy for the 2x and 3x plans.

[@MonarchAZ]

I like it. I'd hate living in one in an urban setting but if you have a beautiful piece of land, possibly with ocean views or in the mountains they could be very cool. Would love to see pricing.

[@rvfantasy]

The idea is nice, but I feel there is some problems with it like some have said. Washer and dryer being one of them. How would it handle with storms for example or snow if living up north? Are the sliding doors the only thing going in and out as I feel that is a security risk as people could see what you have (and doing) and steal from you once you leave. I could be over thinking it there. I mean some like the whole windows thing, but I would only enjoy that if I live in the woods or something.

[@susantillander2080]

I agree with your observations. These aren't really homes. They are more like vacation rentals.

with downsizing, you’re selling a larger home to buy smaller, hopefully fully pocketing some savings. Are they selling that unused module back to the company? Someone who needs some extra rooms minus the bathroom or kitchen portions of the base module? They’re cool, though. I want one for my back yard.

[@dancedj2k2]

While these are a cool , futuristic design, there are many issues that need to be addressed for different types of places you might put one of these. Flat roof are not good for snowy areas. Glass front not good for hot areas. the light weight is not good for windy areas. I also didn't notice much room for storage. this would be great for a mild temperature place that doesn't see much snow like southern Illinois, or Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee

[@Lou.B]

I haven't seen anyone on YT who covers the leading edge of the pre-fab home market as well as you do Kerry. That said, when I see a product where the price is not yet available, yet you can buy one now, I gotta wonder about the "there there". As far as the "Modern Retro" look being touted, I think about what WILL happen to these units once they cut engines and actually 'land' on planet Earth. It might work on a TV set that's occupied by Captain Picard, but the gloss on the exterior of these houses (2:20), or the repairs on the walls if you should change your mind about where you want to hang a picture, will have them morphing into the "Mid-century, Used Trailer Park" look before very long. It looks like a plastic house, inside and out - what are the Makers thinking? Can they even be painted? It's past time for potential buyers to stop drooling over 3D renderings or offshore showroom models and start asking real-world questions.

[@KerryTarnow]

Thank you! I agree the renderings are annoying but sometimes all that's available. I plan to visit more of these homes in person and then I'll be able to get a real life sense of what we're dealing with. Thanks for watching

[@jayski9410]

The renderings are appealing but as with so many renderings somethings are just left out. I don't see any closets in the bedroom - you're probably going to want one. And they're always shown sitting on a big open lot with nothing but wide open spaces around them. Hardly the reality of the urban or suburban places which most Americans live. This reminds me of the way RV dealers depict trailer life. Just you parked all alone along side and idyllic lake. When the reality is you can only park in an RV park, cheek by jowl, with 50 other RV's looking to party all night long.
