Architecture in a box! House. Cabin. Office. Developments. weeHouses are sturdy enough to withstand the extremes of desert or tundra and they may be placed anywhere that is accessible by truck. The weeHouse system is based on a modern aesthetic, efficient use of space, and intelligent adaptation of prefab building technology. From small retreats to large urban weeHouses-even for commercial uses – the weeHouse adapts to a wide variety of needs.
weeHouses are available in one-module, two-module, or customized configurations. By selecting from our unique siding and interior options, each weeHouse is tailored to fit your lifestyle.
As an architect in a Minneapolis firm, Geoffrey Warner became impatient with “business-as-usual” thinking. So in 1989, he did what anyone would do (right?): he quit his job to get real, hands-on experience. Literally. He constructed buildings, furnishings, lighting, and artful fabrications using a variety of materials and hand-, machine-, and CAD-based processes. Concentrating on art and industry while maximizing the impact of modest budgets through creative construction technologies, he honed his sense of “tightwad panache.”
Alchemy’s completion of the weeHouse in 2003, then just an inexpensive prefab cabin, gained international attention as a symbol of architectural optimism. Since then, Alchemy has widened its scope, developing the weeHouse as a prefabricated answer for cabins, houses, offices, rooftop studios, and multi-dwelling developments.
By launching this weeHouse line, Alchemy is able to provide the benefits of pre-design and prefabrication and bring sustainable, modern houses to more people more affordably.
