Modular homes look just like regular stick-built homes these days, and they can come in any size. Yes, you can even have modular mansions. According to Andrew Gianino in the Modular Home, architects are borrowing designs from both classic and contemporary styles to create plans for these large homes. They can be three or more stories tall with exteriors with all sorts of unique trim and flourishes. The interiors, also, can be custom-designed with open floor plans. Designer touches and finishes can be added by local craftsmen. The author writes "these homes are no 'McMansions'--all size and show with poor quality--since they are built with modern modular technology."
But how does such a big modular home get delivered to your house, you wonder? The same way as other modulars--in pieces. A modular mansion can have as many as 20 modules that are transported to your building site where they get pieced together into your dream home.
