One of the key features to a welcoming experience is the relationship between the local environment and a house. Rather than sticking out or not being noticed at all, you want your home and the landscape to complement each other.
Have you ever thought of letting your surroundings determine the look of your home?
Everyone has a different idea for their perfect dream home. With over a hundred floor plans, the designs on our website are usually just a starting point. Each plan is fully customizable to best suite your needs.
So which is the most popular plan? Where do most dream homes start? It’s our Athabasca. It’s no surprise because this three bedroom two bathroom package has a great open floor plan in 1,628 square feet. This home is available in several exterior styles.
A customized Sylvan Lake package is now a cottage on Paul Lake, BC. Built between two existing homes, on a rock wall, this cottage fits perfectly. Right along the road with only a drive way as working space, a Winton prefab build was ideal.
From foundation to lockup, prefab is faster than a traditional stick build. The builders were out of the way sooner, with less wasted material. With the cathedral ceiling and the large windows, this home shows off the view perfectly.
One of our most challenging and exciting cottage package was a Fraser model we sent all the way to Cambridge Bay Nunavut. That’s right, we shipped it all the way to the edge of the Arctic Ocean
How did it get there? Good Question!!
In a location with only one barge in per year, timing was everything with this project. Sailing a home on the deck of a ship isn’t easy but we made it happen. After three months on barge to get around Alaska, the package still had more to travel.
Winton Homes and Cottages have shipped several VERY exciting new homes to Yellowknife, NWT. Our Senior Design Consultant Larry Ochitwa was in Yellowknife recently and visited with the Customers and their builders.
Builders in Yellowknife face a very harsh climate, tough building conditions and a very short building season making our pre-fabricated homes ideal. Foundations are typically pinned directly to the Canadian Shields never ending rock.
Striking quality-built four story condo project is near completion in Prince George BC. Winton EWP integrated structural building components are at its core. Using Winton precision manufactured walls, owner and general contractor Joe Myatovic of Myatovic Construction is very proud of this 20 unit residential achievement. "This is the first project using Winton wall panels and I was pleasantly surprised by how everything fit together perfectly and the speed of the entire build. I will definitely use Winton again."
Why are Prefab Homes the Solution?
Panelized construction saves both the builder and buyer time and money with improved quality, efficiency and control. Since the first builder realized that using a truss system to better build a complicated roof, panelized home building methods have become more and more technologically advanced, leading to a wide array of benefits-The National Association of Home Builders
Step inside this beautiful home and listen to the wonderful story of this couple's experience building a Winton Home. This is their second Winton Home! As the General Contractor, they enjoyed being directly involved in the build while doing some of the work themselves.
