Douglas RidgeBrunswick MaineThe mission of Douglas Ridge is to create a community where homeowners can live in harmony with the land and their neighbors. Located on 48 acres in Brunswick, near 280+ acres of conservation easements, the development will feature 17 homes, semi-clustered with well, septic and utilities grouped together to maximize open space. The homes are based on contemporary one and two story design platforms and are sited to be solar powered. 2 Rose Douglas Ridge was the first Unity home built in Brunswick. These homes represent model homes that have been built; the buyer of these lots will have flexibility and options to choose from. Unity Homes In a unique collaboration, Douglas Ridge is partnering with Unity Homes to provide the very latest in home construction technology, design and energy efficiency. Unity Homes brings together design traditions from all over the world to create homes that are precision engineered, manufactured in a climate-controlled high-tech facility, and then assembled on-site – all with a degree of care and attention rarely found in homebuilding these days. Designed to maximize performance and minimize operating costs, Unity homes are extremely tight, well-insulated and quiet. They feature constant fresh air supply and carefully selected green materials, making them healthy laces to live – free of finishes and materials that can cause allergic reactions and other health problems. VARM: Scandinavian Desgin
The Varm is an extremely flexible design platform that can be configured to look like a classic colonial, country farmhouse, basic barn or even a clean modernist home.
The Varm takes full advantage of Unity’s integrated building components. The platform easily accommodates add-on decks, porches, garages or sunscreen overhangs. It’s an excellent choice for owners who need a home office, or for larger families who need separate living areas. The full-height second story maximizes living space. At the same time Varms offer plenty of roof area for photovoltaics.
Like all unity platforms, Varms are designed to minimize operating costs.
Efficiency Creates Long Lasting Results
Wood, the most renewable building resource, is a primary component, with a low carbon footprint. Cellulose made from recycled newspaper stock is tighly packed into walls and roof systems.
Advanced CNC (computer numerical control) machinery ensures that the minimum amount of wood is used to make the maximum amount of house. Approximately 60% of fabrication takes place in the factory in a tightly controlled environment. The Open-Built® technology creates a home that adapts to the people who live there—saving time and money as they adapt to changes in lifestyle and technology…all in a house designed to last hundreds of years.
