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. 

Each Prefab Pod is built using volumetric construction by our skilled craftspeople who handle minimal finish work on-site. We estimate delivery times to be a third (4-6 months) of traditional on-site construction. Our method, streamlining customization and emphasizing volume purchasing, also offers cost savings. Our Prefabrication team has undergone Kaizen training which emphasizes feedback, standardization, and constant communication. With thoughtful design and execution oversight, we ensure enduring quality throughout the continuous improvement process. 

By prioritizing sustainability in our Prefab Pods, incorporating renewable resources and ensuring they are net-zero ready, we are safeguarding Maine’s environment while making a positive contribution to the state’s architectural heritage.
