Looks very interesting. - When's expected releases and the pricing per each unit? - How do these things hold up in winter places?
Its Raaaaymond
@kevinyun Wondering the same, plus how long they are expected to last. Will they last as long as a conventional wooden house?
Cody
@kevinyun Why they would not include pricing or even basic info baffles me...
Joe Duncko
@kevinyun @rdbrdd I think I found the pricing, under https://node.eco/#Designs click "Check out Trillium floor plans"
Cody
@kevinyun @joeduncko Nice find! I see it now. Thanks! Those prices tho...

I've had such a fascination for this movement and I'm so excited to see it hitting the mainstream with companies like Node becoming successful. It is really at the point where we should have sustainability in mind for most of our purchases and that includes our homes.

Are these as sturdy and well insulated as conventional houses?
Malinda Gagnon
@mildredalex4 yes it's made of traditional high-quality building materials. It may even be sturdier that some traditional builds and better insulated because it's built in panels. All materials are non-toxic and air quality, ventilation, etc. is all planned for of course.

Maybe this makes sense in places with super high home costs but where I live I could get double the space for less then these cost and have land included... They look amazing through. If they didn't cost a fortune and I just happened to own some land I could maybe see it... maybe...
Julien Le Coupanec
@rdbrdd Yes in Europe these prices do not match the current offer on the market. Companies like Avrame or Q-haus (both are from Estonia, that's funny) offer high-quality prefab homes for less than that. The Russians from Dubldom are also doing a great job.

@rdbrdd @lecoupa Thanks for sharing other companies in the same field Julien

@rdbrdd @raphael_chabaud You're welcome, I love the tiny house movement. I hope everything is great on your side!

Literally got an email today from a friend about this product today. I turned around and emailed it to another friend. Brilliant.

Wish there was more about prices.
Malinda Gagnon
@baidoct you can check out prices at www.node.eco - just go to the Trillium floor plan and someone pasted prices above this chain too!
Oliver Thomas Klein
Oh man. These are amazing. Would love to see a step by step guide to actually buying and living in these.
Lui Kohl
@oliverk49934090 Same, I have no idea what's involved beyond paying for the prefab. Of course you need to own the land but other costs. Would love to read someones story from beginning to move in at the end.
Serge DIELENS @sergeDedge
I want one (in Belgium)! :) @sergededge

Great looking models! What is the foundation solution? Is that an additional expense for homebuyers?
Shun Yamada
Good challenge!

This reminds me of another YC company Acre: https://www.producthunt.com/post...

Really excited about the innovations on the home building front, but these seem way too expensive! I understand they are sustainable, etc. - but these will be limited to a very few unless prices can come down drastically.
