Move In
We are excited to release initial imagery of the completed Haddonfield, NJ, project. The new residents moved in 78 days after the foundation work started. We have thoroughly enjoyed working with the homeowners throughout the process and wish them many happy years in their new home.
We will have a range of announcements related to the project and be releasing imagery of our latest work in the coming months.
In the meantime, we would like to thank Jetson Green for their ongoing coverage of this project. Please view their latest post on the project:

A very special Valentine’s Day
One very clever South Jersey resident knew the best way to his wife’s hear on Valentine’s Day–a brand new LABhaus!
Just two days after the pre-cast foundation was set in place, Haddonfield and Haddon Township police escorted the five-module project on three trucks through the historic heart of South Jersey. After spending the weekend next to a neighborhood baseball field, the modules were brought to the job-site early Monday and erected in one dramatic day. The future home-owners watched as one 80-ton crane and a set-crew of six assembled their new home in just eight hours. By the end of the day, they were able to walk through the home and their two young boys could visit their future bedrooms for the first time.
The home is expected to be completed within approximately 60 days. Those interested in learning more about this project or who would like a private tour in early March should contact info@labhaus.com.

We at LABhaus are extremely excited to announce the construction of the first full-production LABhaus home. The future residents were recently at the factory to watch their home come together and participate in the filming of an upcoming cable television feature on the project.
After staff training and trouble-shooting of the panelized construction technique, the exterior walls were assembled and joined to the floor and ceiling plates on January 13th, 2011. The windows and kitchen arrived early that day and were installed directly thereafter. Starting next week, the baths and interior finishes will be installed. Delivery to the site is anticipated in the first week of February, with delivery to the residents to take place approximately 8 weeks thereafter.
We will be releasing regular updates regarding the progress on LABhaus.com, our Twitter Feed, on on our Facebook pages. Those interested in viewing the project up-close-and-personal should contact LABhaus at 215.821.9117 or info@labhaus.com.
The following videos from our Youtube channel show the connection detail for the panelized wall system (as performed by a very special guest laborer!) and the ceiling assembly being lowered upon one of the modules.
Project planned overlooking New York Harbor
LABhaus is proud to preview its latest project, located on the ridge of the first Wachtung Mountain overlooking the entirety of New York Harbor, Manhattan, Staten Island, Jersey City, and the lower Hudson Valley.
First and foremost, the project is designed to take full advantage of one of the most dramatic views on the entire East Coast. The major mass of the home is placed at the rear of the building envelope, allowing uninterrupted views from the east, south, and north exposures in each room through large plate-glass windows. Exposures proximate to neighboring structure, on the other hand, are punctuated by long, horizontal windows. These provide ample light, but preserve privacy. The west-facing street facade reflects the modest scale of the neighboring mid-century modern houses. A semi-detached garage clad in a hyper-extended cedar rain-screen both provide an attractive single-story street elevation, and form an inviting private courtyard for the homeowners to enjoy.
