t's a new millennium, and we as a nation, a state, and a country, are still addressing our urgent housing needs with large tracts of resource depleting L-shaped Ranch Burgers, Taco Deco and other forms of nostalgia prevalent in the 19th century when the earth's entire population measured 16% of it's current numbers. Furthermore, we are developing this sprawl as if the equally urgent threat of environment demise was not a critical issue facing the world today.

The people at M:OME, a collective devoted to new ideas in housing are addressing crucial issues of housing and environment simultaneously while creating in a form that expresses our collective moment in history, the 21st century. As a consequence, M:OME has developed a collection of modern sustainable and affordable homes that continue to save the owner money throughout the years via low life-cycle costs. Going further, all of this comes without sacrificing the modern conveniences we have all come to appreciate.
The concept is simple. M:OME developed a repeatable design incorporating an economical, efficient steel structure, straw bale infill, and proven sustainable technologies.
In other words, M:OME resides at the confluence of the speculative housing market, economical metal building industry, and the custom self-sustaining architecture community. The mission is to bring environmentally friendly housing to a wider market.

Imagine a home that is easy to build, but offers many options. Imagine a home that generates it's own electricity, hot water and heat. Imagine a home that passively cools without the use of air conditioning. Imagine a home that enjoys zero out-gassing and toxins, but is wired to the teeth to allow live/work scenarios. Imagine a home with a modern floor plan and loft-like options.
