Juniper I

As the inaugural Prefab Pod build of Knickerbocker Group’s Prefabrication Division, Juniper I embodies an art-infused design maximizing light, space, and connectivity to nature. Featuring cutting-edge building and mechanical systems, Juniper I champions living sustainably.

Inspired by our employee-owners’ dedication to Maine and a commitment to preserve its natural resources, our firm launched a Prefabrication Division in 2023. Central to the design and build of our Prefab Pods, the team diligently pursues using renewable materials to minimize environmental impact and promote community resilience. Prioritizing local sourcing, we meticulously select natural, sustainable, low maintenance, and low embodied carbon building materials, ensuring both environmental consciousness and longevity. 

In 2024, Juniper I was merited an AIA Maine Honor Award for Excellence in Architecture in the Small Projects Category as well as the recipient of People’s Choice Award for Residential Design.  Described by jurors as “having well-executed detailing and finishes with an impressive ambition of budget as it relates to sustainability and accessibility,” jurors also noted “the transparency, paired with the achievement of energy efficiency, is commendable” and “the design within such a small footprint is smart.”
