- OOD House is now available in 48 states! There are a lot of new prefab home companies popping up all over the world but some have been in the industry for years. OOD has a line of unique homes with a glass exterior that don't look much like any other homes in the space but will definitely turn a few heads. What sets the houses from OOD apart is their mirrored glass exterior that allows them to almost blend right into whatever environment they're placed. In this video I look at who they are, what they have available and how much they cost. Watch and learn more about OOD House, a company building unique prefab homes.

What baffles me about all these options is that they are far more expensive than an onsite stick-built unit of similar size. $127k for 200sq ft? That's $600/sq.ft. which is double what normal construction costs... I thought the point of factory built homes was to reduce the cost, not double it....
It's finished with appliances
It's high end
It's small and go places a home reg home can't
It can be moved
Even though it's a lot per foot it's less total cost
Many of us want small
I have to agree with you. The reason many people are looking for a prefab home is to keep construction time and cost low. Until they align with those needs I am not interested in the least.
There are so many places where concrete is not available, normal construction is not possible and a path to the site is less than 9 feet.
Hell, I work in a mobile home factory and we produce high-end customizable mobile homes that you could house a family in starting at prices slightly more than these. We have a tiny home manufacturer adjacent to us and they sell what are essentially sheds for 60+k. This entire movement was ruined when these became vacation rentals, "spaces" and other commodities other than easily maintained dwellings that were intended to be far cheaper than a standard home. Granted in some markets these prices are cheap but in everyday America these prices are ludacris and are intended for hipsters and trendsters with far too much money.
Yeah, I'm with you. What I basically want is a single-wide, except 1) it has high-quality materials, 2) has at least *some* exterior style, and 3) is built to a non-HUD standard.
Thank you so much for bringing this company to our attention. I really enjoy your videos.
Love the entire concept, especially that they put an active consideration to how it would work as an office and the option for the shell (something the industry would do better if they considered). I also love how they are thinking beyond the traditional pricing models (same industry comment as before applies here, too).
OOD has really got something special here, and I hope they find success. I would totally jump on this, if I were in the position, but will actively recommend them.
Great video and thank you for bringing their products to our attention. I hope we will be hearing much more from them in the future.
Great content and as always luv the humor ... Thx for always turning out great insights into this market!
Thanks Sean 🤝
Quite inspiring! Love the concept of the shell! Love the idea of blending into the forest!
I love your sense of humor. U make me laugh unexpectedly. Ty. Now a days it helps.😊
Glad to hear that! 👊🏻
The mirrored glass is awesome! Thank you for sharing! Much appreciated!
Glad you like it!
Absolutely perfect for isolated areas. Can’t imagine looking out my window only to see my own home reflected back at me!
Haha 100%
Your home multiple to infinity
Or some scary guy trying to see inside👀
You can, go to a AI art generator like they did and make some imagines, then stare at your AI photo's.
Would be great for shaded woodland areas or mountain forests. Price on the shell is quite nice too. The Baltic countries have some great designers.
Exactly!
I'd be interested in two of the large shells. One for a living/kitchen/half bath set up. The other with the bedroom/closet/full bath/office/storage set up.
They're intriguing, aren't they???👍👍👍
Same here. Very intriguing, but I’m about as far away from Estonia as it gets in the US. Still interested, I do like the look & finishes
I would like two ….living space and sleeping area but not sure how they would go in a quebec winter and an occassional -35c
I guess i could put them on an insulated heated concrete slab foundation
@@janicegipson4691 ditto. Did Kenny say which 48 states they're available in???
Take my money, please!! This is an amazing concept and having a few of these would be divine. I was, like others who've commented here, surprised by the affordability of the offerings. I will definitely be doing more research on these pre-fab homes. Great video! Thanks!!
I could not see myself living in one of these. I’m sure there are many who could. Another great video. Thank you.
that is a great price for the large ... i was expecting a lot more
man i wish people in mexico could take a page out of estonia's book and start offering things like this
I love the reflection these exteriors provide 🤩!
Agreed!!! I'm sick of the modular homes looking like something out of SAW XII, especially in a more remote/woodland setting. This looks much less-scary. I wonder about the flat roof w snows, though.
Me too!
I found your channel a few hours ago. You blend stunning visuals, practical information with a bit of well placed humor. You've just earned a new subscriber. My only complaint is that I am supposed to be mopping my floor but am binging on your videos instead. Sending Love from Louisiana ❤
Thanks Jill. Haha the floor mop can wait 😆. Thanks for watching
Thank you Kerry
I have a deposit on a couple of these units, from last year! Just waiting on permits from my end. Martii from sales is super good to work with! Produced currently south of the border in Mexico, but moving production to Texas. 100+ units scheduled production in 2023
Question, what are you using your units for and how much are you paying for permits in Texas? I am living in California and so far the concept of affordable homes is a horrible joke on developers, contractors and manufacturers as well as home buyers! Permits cost north of $100k ! Greedy states, city and county governments representatives! They want $5000 just to look at your “affordable modular homes plans” please don’t call California a liberal state because it’s not, it’s a greedy, self- centered state!
Appreciate it! Hopefully, everything will be sorted out with permits soon. ÖÖD is excited to kick off your Mirror House project
You put a down payment on AI generated art work? Neat.
@@rufuskit9447
I've seen you make the same basic comment on a bunch of these threads. Are you AI?
@@rogermccaslin5963 Did I mess up your scam of using faked AI photo's to sell something? At least you should disclose your involvement with the company, don't ya think?
Very interesting design, great for forest or mountain area. Thanks for bringing this review to us Kerry! 👊
I think the real question is whether the mirrors make these houses invisible to the tax accessors.
LOL. Not to worry. You will hear NESARA announced soon
Lol😂
@@ediewall6360 Not to worry AI generated art doesn't need cleaning like glass does.
I built an addition to my house without a permit because I didn't want the already high property tax to go up.
Up to 125 sq ft can be done with no permit. But mine is way bigger.
So I used three different colors of shingles (black, tan, and green) to make it look like an untaxed detached structure from Ariel photography.
Over ten years now and they never caught on. :)
"Shots fired", I'm in tears well done...good editing...we all know cabins like yours, I love them but they are funny in this context of modern alternatives...thanks Kerry for the laugh and cool prefab...
haha! thanks for watching
I would love to see homes that have been installed and get the owners feedback.
The Ood House exterior has that wow factor going for it. Having said that, the interior of their signature is not too shabby. I’d want to improve the kitchen but overall it’s solid. 👨🍳
New York City pigeons are pretty stupid so I don’t think the birds here would fair well with avoiding the Ood House.🐦⬛🪶
Fantastic update Kerry. You have me excited for what you have coming up soon. 😎
Pro nuts. Very good. Your language and windows seem to be intact and it’s bearable ! 🎉. Good Vid , I like !!! We need a start up Modular here in Minnesota ! Cabin country ? All the Best ! Craig
Thanks for the info and inspiration.
My pleasure!
Love these! They would make a great short term vacation rental. The exterior is a show stopper that would get a lot of attention on the major rental platforms. Well done as always Kerry!
Love it!
having to clean them spotless each turnover would be annoying
@@Maria-tq8ck A lot of ppl like AI generated art, but it's always a little off. You should try prompting Midjourney and Photoshopping some reflections, it's really easy.
Love These. So small seems it would be easier to build something similar or cover an existing system with mirror glass.
That could be an option for sure
Oh man this is a very cool idea and it seems like an energy efficient idea.
"Shots fired!" haha good one... These are COOL!
They really are
Imagine making your park neighbors look at their reflections lol
Like wild animals?
great video thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
I love this video you have a great sense of humor thank for the laugh… I like the concept but even the shell is by pricey.. ❤
Glad you got a laugh Judith, thanks for watching
I'm not sure about the mirrored exterior, but I like the layout of the one floor plan you showed. Good find Kerry 😀.
🥶🖤🔔👍🏻
Thanks!
I love them. I ideally would like to get the large one unfinished and attach a smaller one.
That would be cool
I’m naturally in one of the two states they aren’t selling in. When someone says 48 I assume they exclude the two states that aren’t attached, but Washington and Nebraska is a head scratcher.
I was looking at a parcel with a good amount of river frontage with mountains nearby and thought if I got two I could angle them away from each other and towards the river, then rent one and stay in the other.
I’ll tow my trailer there at first before buying or building to see the best spots, but it has tiny windows
Purchase them in an adjacent state nearest you and truck them in to your place!
_The mirrored exterior is not for me, but it's still an interesting idea. I wonder how the thermal performance is with all that glass area?_
We use 16mm of Argon to keep the heat between the glass. Walls have 200mm of insulation, floor has fiber insulation and roof has fiber insulation
Gorgeous!! Can you connect several modules
You do great vids Terry... save the "boxable con"
$130,000 for 200 sq ft is insane
Or $26,000 down for a AI generated image that can't be delivered.
Thanks!
Thank you 🙌🏼
Aesthetically 💯
Practicality about a 5.
I love fresh air. I have 22 windows in my house. I love cross ventilation etc.
Thank you for the feedback 🙌🏼
Shots fired 🔥👍
Haha
Oooh those are nice!!! Price point is doable as well. Ordering a shell or two would make a decent dwelling if someone can do the interior handiwork....that way you can make it your own. Awesome vid.
Thanks Tess!
Sure shipping from Estonia and associated fees 5axes probably only doubles the price
We have a facility in Houston, TX@@boringsoaring
Very cool!!! Love how they literally disappear. Just wondering how practical they would be from an insulation perspective. Will they become a hotbox or freezer in more extreme environments?
BTW... you have a wicked awesome sense of humour. Love it.
I worry about whose going to clean the dirty windows 😂 especially Bird Doo, but I love this look 👍👍
Our glass is really high-quality, provided by St. Gobain. The glass walls in our signature Houses are made with two layers and are built to handle any weather. They reflect 93% of the sun's heat, so even in hot climates, like Ghana or Three Rivers, California, where we have four units in a desert landscape, excessive heat isn't a problem if you use air conditioning.
You are so fun. You make me laugh! 😊
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching 🙌🏼
I like this. I'd like the large shell.
Thanks for watching Mindy
$124K for a Tiny studio size house? OH HELL NO!
$124k for a AI generated photo.. not the wisest choice.
Beautiful
Thanks for watching
Everyone should know about this! This is the way so many people could get into their first home and not break the bank.
Cool beans, thanks!
Thanks for watching
It's totally cool, simple & sufficient according to Hygge.
It's such a beautiful look! Thanks Kerry! Sadly, there's no delivery to Washington state or Nebraska! Win some, lose some. 😃
Check again. New factory in Houston.
Washington State has all the best tiny home builders anyway. Well, washington and California.
Any suggested builders in WA? Thanks! @@tessw9744
@@tessw9744 Silicon Valley is where they do a lot of the research for these faked AI generated photo's. How many ppl here don't know they images are not real?
Kerry, check out the prefab Futuro house from Cortes Campers.
Will do thanks
The buildings are stunning and in the right location would look amazing. I am not sure about a space in which one cannot open a window for ventilation, though. That seems like a big oversight.
This will be perfect for my property in Española.
Great!
Very nice
Thanks for watching
Very cool...
Thanks for watching
SHOTS FIRED😂😂😂🎉
Haha
Watched a YT couple recently that found out the hard way, in regards to a stipulation in Tenn., only that they don't allow 'importing' units from outside the state, which they did...and in which they did extensive researching on permits prior, and much more, but then the 'very fine print' was so hidden, after they had the unit all set up, it even took a lawyer some time to uncover!
“They gonna catch hands”.. dang Kerry 😂
Haha
@@KerryTarnow I was literally shocked. Your humor is S class.
Interesting concept - minimizing the crowded look of small cabins surrounding a busy vacation lake, but I would still be concerned about the birds flying into the glass.
I would love this in the desert.
That would be cool
You should do a 5 minute stand up set same jokes all about prefab homes and Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haha good idea! Thanks for sending me OOD House 🙌🏼
@@KerryTarnow no problem love tge channel
That side glance had me laughing. You can solve your small window problem with a chainsaw and some mirrored glass. Keep us updated on the project! 😁
No, you change the AI prompt or Photoshop in a windows. This is the pretend phase of sales, do get investors, delivery that meh, not so important.
Hahaha
Awesome
Thanks!
OOD's mirrored glass exterior design is a game-changer, allowing their homes to seamlessly blend into their surroundings. It's a brilliant fusion of modern aesthetics and functionality that truly sets them apart.
As building company in CLT panel modular houses, we appreciate the dedication to quality and innovation that OOD House represents. It's inspiring to see companies like OOD pushing the boundaries of what prefab homes can be.
Congratulations to OOD House on their success, and here's to a future where more individuals can experience the beauty and functionality of unique prefab homes. 🏠
Exactly!
amazing
Thanks
How about some idea of shipping costs?
What about ventilation? Can any of the windows open?
Would use for ADU
Kerry, according to Merriam-Webster Dictionary you are pronouncing 'pronounce' correctly. On their website you can click and hear the word pronounced for you.
Boom! Thank you 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
You are indeed a Pro Nouncer.
I'll probably have to stop throwing stones
Haha
Cool, but how do you keep the glass clean? Is it replaceable if a limb cracks it?
Great questions! Cleaning would be a concern
Nice & Unique…
100%! Thanks for watching
"shots fired, but ok" 😂
I’ll take two! 🎉
Same here
How are they powered. Septic /sewer tie in ? Water?
I Truly want this signature 🙏❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Its really cool
Hi, love this video. Do you know what town/ city they have these in in New Jersey? I live here and I'm having a really hard time finding tiny house friendly towns in North New Jersey
lol.. I appreciate the humor! Not a fan of these hermetic boxes.. but nice to look at..sort of. I imagine they serve the airbnb market.
I’m surprised you didn’t leave links
Folks worry about things that don't matter & fail to worry about things that do....
Small but beautiful
Agreed
What a fun space. Fantastic Air B&B but for everyday living, I'm not sure it's liveable.
Sorry! I’m still on the, wha? re: price! I *feel* like either I live in a part of the USA that is still “affordable” and/or this price point is just unaffordable to me. Either way, I have a prefab modular that I’ve researched “in my back pocket” that IS affordable or, at some point, Kerry, you point me towards another one that is better. Until I put down the $’s on a unit I’m open to continuing to consider options; I thank you for that!
What company are you talking about? I’m totally interested if it’s truly affordable!
I agree with the last comment on cost.. they are beautiful.. definitely desirable..
But it’s a head scratcher on the price.. ( i guess more to say … the business plan.
And what’s in the water in Estonia??
And can we get some over here.
So far my best option is Zennihome.
I hope to visit Zennihome soon!
Any thing that has structure that actively avoids mold growth, like for ever?
Sadly, any carpenter could put one of these together with a Home delivery from a lumber store in two days. Compare that to a trip across the ocean, a semi truck bringing it to your job site and then getting a crane to set it.
Beautiful. Storage?
Kerry, these are outrageously beautiful homes, because of their unique look, plus the cost is almost pefect😂, just kidding Kerry the prices is good but my 1 and only complaint is they don’t make bigger homes, and this is funny we ( meaning developers need homes 500-850 sqft yeah I know that’s not that big😂!! But hey we are talking about small prefabricated affordable modular homes) so these guys are winners in my book!😊😊😊
Thanks for watching Richard!
Seriously, I saw the address of their US contact, including their office address and phone number. But do you think they can and will build a larger unit? Say 750 sqft 2&1 for $160k to $180k? For my company even $200,000 is NOT bad in terms of cost to the public consumers.
@@richardavery2244 Imagine ppl not knowing these are AI generated photo's and getting ripped off.
You are😂
Actually, we can customize anything the client desires.
Mirror mirror as the walls, whos the best to reflect upon it all?
A house made of mirrors of course.
Icandigit.
I like this one. I'm looking for an in-law type dwelling for visitors to use since my house is very small. Where can I find this to do more investigation. I have to make sure my state will allow this. Thanks
The 3 sides of mirrored glass is a fantastic idea. I am a huge fan of modern looking dwellings & the Scandivian style. 😁
Thanks for watching Brandon!
If you find one on a map, will you be able to see it when your GPS says: "You have reached your destination."?
You’ll see yourself. That’s how you’ll know you’ve arrived.
It would be very helpful to know appropriate shipping costs to the states. Also, set up costs can be high. Very cool product, but I suspect the “all in” cost is going to be very high. Bottom line, modular homes are not cost effective unless they are built within a reasonable distance from the site and set up costs can be very high.
These look awesome, I wonder if a few shells can be combined to create larger, but still single story, houses/spaces
They change the AI prompt to make that photo for you.
SO many companies now.
People have to be buying these. Kerry, Do you have an estimate on failure rates ?
Im not actually sure on that…
AirBnB, depending on location.
Yeah
Hmm my head is definitely turned... .
What’s the R value of those all glass walls?
R Value: Roof: R-49, Exterior Walls: R-22, Floor: R-38, Glass: R-5 U-0.1937
So, with 3 sides of glass walls, there is nearly no R value to the space meaning it is going to cost a fortune keeping it cool in the summer and warm in the winter. So much for energy efficiency and helping out the planet by using less energy.
