Alchemy Architects’ relatively large (three bedroom) weeHouse at Johnson Creek in Pennsylvania shows how well the popular prefab ages on the outside. With more than 20 built now, some of these are now on their second owners, and have entered the housing stock of homes for sale or even for rent as vacation homes.

Like most of the weeHouses, the Johnson Creek weeHouse exterior is metal – which, exposed to the elements, is now acquiring a gritty naturally rusted exterior that blends with nature. It is intended to have a durable industrial look. You never have to paint it.

It is made of 4 units, stacked tow up into 2 double-height units. This one is for daily living, eating.

The living room is on top to give the best views. Many of these affordable prefabs are in beautiful vacation settings.

The  smaller one serves as a sleeping tower – Both are connected by an elevated patio bridge.

As with all the weeHouses, the interior appointments are sleek and simple, and well designed, making their affordability that much more of an achievement.
