The awards were presented during the 2008 National Congress & Expo for Manufactured and Modular Housing in Las Vegas, Nevada.

"We are proud to be consistently recognized by our peers in the manufactured housing industry as a leader in developing creative and functional homes." Manufactured Single-Section Concept: Cabin Fever This rustic cabin features country living space that promotes outdoor and family activities. It is the perfect get-away place for the individual looking for a solitary experience or for small families. And, there is ample storage to safely guard seasonal gear and games. The log cabin exterior and the large porch appeal to lovers of nature and the outdoors. Manufactured Concept Under 1,800 Square Feet: Prairie House The openness of this modern wide-open floor plan is emphasized by its 12-foot soaring ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the living area, which wash the home in natural light. The vast family room opens to the functional kitchen, creating a perfect space to entertain family and friends. Practical touches are seen at every turn, including a mudroom, direct access to the laundry room from the master bedroom walk-in closet, and extensive storage space throughout. Manufactured Concept Over 1,800 Square Feet: Valencia Coming home to the Valencia is like coming home to a vacation get-away. This three-bedroom home has an open design. The glass tile water fountain in the entry sets the mood for this spacious, relaxing home. It is perfect for an active young family with teens due to the indoor and outdoor living spaces. Clutter and conflict are minimized with ample storage space and individual washing areas. There is a place for everything and everyone has his or her own space. Manufactured Single-Section Home: Mini Pod This home is smartly designed with creative uses of space and options that make it perfect for many lifestyles. There are numerous expansion pod options allowing for flexibility and customization within restricted square-footage requirements. Even with limited space, families can make this home uniquely theirs. The pod options include an entry vestibule, a back porch, expanded living space in the bedroom or living room, or a storage shed. The innovative use of space in this home creates an atmosphere of spaciousness and openness, making living much easier, all within a small footprint.
