Dwell and Gilt Partner To Sell Modern Home Plans
Filed under: Architecture & Design
Recently we saw Gilt Groupe put a VW Jetta up for sale. Now the site, which once sold just fashion and accessories through the fast sale format has now partnered with Dwell Media, the parent company of Dwell magazine, and architectural firm Turkel Design to sell modern home plans and architectural services online through Gilt.com. This is a first-time sale of this kind for both Gilt and Dwell.The Dwell Home Finisterre 1115 modern home plan is designed by Turkel Design principal, Joel Turkel. Turkel's designs have been part of the Dwell Homes Collection of prefab homes, a selection of home plans that Dwell first started selling back in 2005.
The Gilt / Dwell package includes the home plan with custom renderings as well as architectural services from Turkel Design that include digital 3D schematic design iterations, scaled design drawings, and consultations. This home includes an outdoor sleeping deck on the roof, a nook off the living room designed to cantilever over the site, and uses sustainable materials.The home plan features 1115 sq. ft. of living space and is designed to be a vacation home or weekend retreat. The narrow form is designed to have a very small footprint and offer views (depending of course on the site you choose). The home can be manufactured (delivered to the site in two small modules to be assembled) or site-built.
This package would normally retail for $25,000 but on Gilt it will be $12,500. There are 20 packages and the sales started today and ends December 23.
