Why ideabox?
Prefab Homes Without Compromise
Sustainable, architecturally-designed homes. Crafted with intention and delivered with care.
Our Mission
We believe modern living should be simple, beautiful, and thoughtful. ideabox was created to offer an alternative to the stress and complexity of traditional homebuilding—without sacrificing quality, design, or experience.
Instead of starting with blank blueprints or one-size-fits-all plans, we offer a smarter path: collaborative, customizable, well-crafted, and built to fit your life.
“We believe great design should be within reach—simple, functional, and built for real life.”
Jim Russell
Co-Founder & Architectural Design
Built in the Pacific Northwest
Our homes are constructed in a climate-controlled factory in Oregon, where we prioritize precision, consistency, and sustainability. That means fewer delays, better protection from the elements, and less material waste—no matter the season.
Crafted year-round in a covered facility
Built by experienced teams with attention to detail
Designed to install quickly and smoothly on-site
Designed by Architects
You’re not just picking a house out of a catalog. With ideabox, you’re collaborating with our designers and architects to create a home that feels personal, functional, and uniquely yours.
We’ll help you:
