MH Advantage ( Manufactured Home Advantage ) program is a new program created by Fanny Mae that allows for financing of homes similar to site built homes and including down payment as low as 3%,.
MH Advantage Homes should have a lower price and customizable finishes of modern manufactured homes.
MH Advantage homes are built to blend into traditional neighborhoods.
MH Advantage homes are homes built to Federal Building Code that need to include features like low profile foundation, higher pitch roofs ( 4/12 ) garage or carport, dormers, porch, and drywall throughout the home.
When a home is built to the MH Advantage standards, a sticker will be applied to the home that identifies the home as a MH Advantage home and allows Appraisers to choose the most appropriate comparable sales, which – unlike standard Manufactured Homes — may include sales of site-built homes.
Confirming the home is eligible for MH Advantage is also easy for lenders: and once confirmed opens up many loan programs

While most people in town considered this building a "tear-down", the new homeowners wanted to revive the property with an ambitions renovation and addition project. Two major challenges needed to be overcome on this project: the first was preserving the integrity of the original 200 year old barn; the second was designing a complementary structure that would co-exist on the site without looking like a 21st century addition.
In order to achieve these goals, our team studied how farm buildings evolve on a site over time. Additions are usually constructed based on need and function. With this protocol in mind, a grain silo was designed to act as our entry tower and buffer the intersection of the two buildings. The silo acts as our focal point and allowed us to construct very simple buildings to house the balance of the owner’s program. The team paid very close attention to scale, use of materials (many of which were recycled) and developed a vocabulary of modern interior detailing that would complement the original house.
Specific program requirements for the project included: large entertainment spaces, gourmet kitchen with adjacent family room, a squash court, multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, master suite, and plenty of storage space. In addition, since both adults work from home and receive clients in their offices, two offices needed to be created and it was critical to separate the work areas for the more private family spaces. The new silo, with central stair, became the element that allowed these different program needs to coexist effectively.

Program: ORLANDO Color: Walnut le midi: This finish is a warm and inviting option that will add character to the kitchen. It is also a very durable finish that will last for years to come.
Program: TOCCO Color: Olive Grey: This finish is a sophisticated and modern option that will give the kitchen a touch of luxury. It is also a very low-maintenance finish that is easy to clean.

This modern homes program was influenced by CCR’s understanding of Organic Architecture as it specifically influences form and function. The conceptual layout for this owner’s program of spaces was organized to maximize the home’s use as a place to entertain folks over periods of time exceeding just a day or evening visit. It was understood that guests must feel comfortable for a weekend or more. The balance of large, open public areas and more intimately scaled, private spaces was utilized and considered a success by both the owner’s family and friends.
An additional program requirement was to use sustainable systems and practices to reduce monthly operating costs for this large home. CCR’s knowledge of passive and active systems was leveraged to find a project specific solution to maximize energy efficiency.
