- 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.
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 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?
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???
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
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.
Great content and as always luv the humor ... Thx for always turning out great insights into this market!
Thanks Sean 🤝
I love your sense of humor. U make me laugh unexpectedly. Ty. Now a days it helps.😊
Glad to hear that! 👊🏻
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.
"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
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!!
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.
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!
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. 😎
I would love to see homes that have been installed and get the owners feedback.
Thank you so much for bringing this company to our attention. I really enjoy your videos.
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.
_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
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
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!
I could not see myself living in one of these. I’m sure there are many who could. Another great video. Thank you.
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. :)
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?
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
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
Quite inspiring! Love the concept of the shell! Love the idea of blending into the forest!
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
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
Imagine making your park neighbors look at their reflections lol
Like wild animals?
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
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.
"Shots fired!" haha good one... These are COOL!
They really are
I'm not sure about the mirrored exterior, but I like the layout of the one floor plan you showed. Good find Kerry 😀.
🥶🖤🔔👍🏻
Thanks!
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!
$124K for a Tiny studio size house? OH HELL NO!
$124k for a AI generated photo.. not the wisest choice.
I love them. I ideally would like to get the large one unfinished and attach a smaller one.
That would be cool
Very interesting design, great for forest or mountain area. Thanks for bringing this review to us Kerry! 👊
great video thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
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.
$130,000 for 200 sq ft is insane
Or $26,000 down for a AI generated image that can't be delivered.
They have a newer factor in Houston, Texas.
Not what I’d pick for a tiny house, but perfect for short term rentals.
That’s why I’m placing my deposit soon. 😉
Good to know! Might have to swing by. 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!
The mirrored glass is awesome! Thank you for sharing! Much appreciated!
Glad you like it!
I'll probably have to stop throwing stones
Haha
It looks really cool but it also looks like it’s bad for birds or starting fires? Idk if it would concentrate more sun anywhere.
But bigger windows means more birds might hit them
Edit: I should have watched more of the video before commenting, ha ha. I still have concerns for the birds.
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.
Gorgeous!! Can you connect several modules
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.
"shots fired, but ok" 😂
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 like this. I'd like the large shell.
Thanks for watching Mindy
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.
“They gonna catch hands”.. dang Kerry 😂
Haha
@@KerryTarnow I was literally shocked. Your humor is S class.
Mirror mirror as the walls, whos the best to reflect upon it all?
A house made of mirrors of course.
Icandigit.
My concern with these homes and bears, would be if bear sees it's reflection, thinks it's a rival, and charges. But I don't like the mirrored look, but that's my personal taste.
Legit question.
And what would it cost to replace?🫣
You do great vids Terry... save the "boxable con"
Folks worry about things that don't matter & fail to worry about things that do....
Everyone should know about this! This is the way so many people could get into their first home and not break the bank.
The more windows a building has, the more I feel like a sitting duck, or a fish in a fishbowl surrounded by cats. But this is just OUR perception. This is cute, but I would not even use it for an office for the same reason. Especially, when help is more than 30 minutes away. However, we do appreciate all of your research, and it is nice to know what is available although, it is not available for me. Also, I almost sent you a video of a woman who had a similar product, and woke up to a pack of six wolves snarling at her through her bedroom window. Luckily for you, I am not smart enough to remember on which platform, I saw it, or tech savvy enough to tag you.
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
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.
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 🙌🏼
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
Thanks for clarifying that about bears, Kerry. Jeez people, really - do you even know any bears? No you do not.
Haha
Oh man this is a very cool idea and it seems like an energy efficient idea.
maybe I'm the only one thinking this is all about the mirrored glass? Its a wow factor, all tree and no roots...a wall of curtains ? you would spend alot of time blocking out light and heat in the summer and closing blinds to keep in the heat in the winter. Its a shoebox. how does the roof drain? I assume you install an air conditioner or heater on the non glass wall or the "extension" like in your first version shown. vinyl stickers? the interior is unimaginative. this reflects all attention on the mirrored exterior - ah hem. I find other designs more thoroughly thought out in design inside and out.
What a fun space. Fantastic Air B&B but for everyday living, I'm not sure it's liveable.
I would love this in the desert.
That would be cool
Ok, no, I would not be driving a mirrored box down the road-can only imagine how confused surrounding drivers would be!
I absolutely love large windows but unless they actually test the glass for bird strike and prove it’s a non issue , they are doing some serious damage to ecosystem. The “ ae, we put some stickers in the glass “ isn’t much of a comfort. I have a 7’x6’ window . I had to quite a bit to stop the bird strikes, stickers did nothing to stop the birds. I’m curious if this high reflection glass is heating up everything in its path. Hopefully the glass being flat is the ticket. If they did the research , kudos to them if not, well they have an obligation to go the right thing. Some semi curved reflective buildings are causing things to catch fire and doing real damage to the vehicles sitting along the street below them. I love this look, but it comes with concerns, like blinding he shit out of everything around it.
Alright Kerry. I want to retire in New Hampshire. Now, if I get a prefab house, I can't just put anywhere, can I? Someone told me there's code violations and other things I need to take into consideration. So why buy a prefab then? I don't understand how 48 states accept these homes yet I can't just put one on my land. Help me out here, please.
You need to check on your locale’s regulations. Every municipality is unique. How do you plan to get power, water, septic/sewer?
Thank you Kerry
The glass isn't that expensive, not like impact glass. I'm in the construction trade here in SWFL. The more expensive homes are approx 600-800 per sqft. The mega weathly, thousands per sqft.
This will be perfect for my property in Española.
Great!
I’ll take two! 🎉
Same here
It's totally cool, simple & sufficient according to Hygge.
Hmm my head is definitely turned... .
HOW THE HELL I MISS THIS ONE? MUSTA BEEN WHEN I WAS BANISHED FRO UTUBE .. ONLY 48 STATES? HMMMM, MIKEY LIKES!
Yeah you were still in UA-cam jail
SHOTS FIRED😂😂😂🎉
Haha
What about some fresh air flow? Looks great but if I want to breath air-conditioned air I can rent a hotel room. What is the purpose of being in the outdoors and being locked in a glass box?
Would use for ADU
How about some idea of shipping costs?
Small but beautiful
Agreed
You are so fun. You make me laugh! 😊
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching 🙌🏼
Thanks for the info and inspiration.
My pleasure!
I’m surprised you didn’t leave links
How many birds plow into that mirrored glass over time?
Shots fired 🔥👍
Haha
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
Alice goes "She Hulk"!!!!!
Hahaha
Cool, but how do you keep the glass clean? Is it replaceable if a limb cracks it?
Great questions! Cleaning would be a concern
One problem though, totally limits you if you enjoy throwing stones.
'Those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones'
Haha 100%
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!
The looks are striking. Striking out, that is. Love your log cabin.
Thank you 🙌🏼
How are they powered. Septic /sewer tie in ? Water?
Beautiful, but how many birds have banged up against them 😥
