@calebarclay this looks awesome and i'll probably order at some point
but some of the pricing is confusing. why's it cost $88 to select "none" for the cooling/heating option? seems like setting a low base price that you can't actually order a unit for $8,234 because even selecting no customization increases the price. Why not just list the actual price for the zero customization option and then only increase the price if someone customises from the default?
@calebarclay got it. also was wondering about the interior and exterior "customizations"
do you have to pay the $800 extra for drywall exterior and $900 for smooth exterior?
you can't just not select either of those. right? so imho the base price should show those as $0 and then only show the additional cost for customizations that you make. the base options should be built into the floor price imho
@jmarcowelker That's a great observation. Most of the modular homes on the site will have additional costs: permitting, site work, site conditions, utility hookup, etc. We constantly work on better mapping out those numbers.
This is awesome 👍
@calebarclay the financing options described on the site seem oriented toward the modular homes (not the offices). What types of financing are in play for the offices?
@conarro Great question. Financing is something we are working on. There are the conventional options using refi, or a line-of-credit. But we're trying to find ways to finance this like you would a car and make payments, or even "renting" the office for a 6mo lease.
@themsaid The wall unit / condenser unit would be the way to go in hotter/colder temperatures. Since the space is so small, we're going to run a test with the Dyson fan in Arizona's summer.
Can it have a deskless option? I have a great desk already.
Can it be soundproof? I'm thinking it'd be great for podcast recording too.
Can it be transported easily if moving to another city?
@bambi_weavil Yes, it comes desk-less actually. Yes, you can easily transport it anywhere, it's not attached to a permanent foundation. Hmmm, I'll look into soundproofing. With the glass, it might be tricky but maybe there is a product that could be placed over the glass temporarily...
Thank you for making this. My Wife and I both work from home and have been discussing building an office in the back yard. The catch has been finding the balance between aesthetics and price. Dwelito looks like its found just that. Let us know when you start shipping to Canada!
At first I did the math and thought this was a very expensive option... then I looked up the average price per sq foot in my state (New Jersey) and this is actually $20 cheaper.. seems cool.
@calebarclay
Great! Thank you! Do I have to worry about it if a hurricane comes in my neighborhood? Plus its, not a flat-flat roof right, it has some slant (couldn't see a top view)? Had a bad experience with those.
I found another perfect use case for it. I'll try to convince my dad to buy one too so I can make the pool deck looks like this:

I just need to figure out how to build rest.
I like this alot! But why is there only a limited amount? Will you bring it back to market again, since it is selling out? It would be a real let down if I can't buy this when I finally have the cash.
@jessehojjensen Yes, 100%. This limited amount was to make sure the fabrication could be done on schedule (8 weeks). Feel free to fill out the form so we can get you on the list.
This looks amazing, wish I could have one. Maybe once I got enough space and budget, I'd definitely enjoy having a small studio like this.
Just a little feedback if it helps: While I was instantly filling the form, I noticed that "heating and cooling" part of the customisation process seemed a bit hidden. It might be better if that section looks like the rest of the options, with images and larger selection area.
