Company History

Acorn Structures and Deck House

The company began as two separate entities, Acorn Structures and Deck House. Acorn Structures was founded in 1947 by Carl Koch, the creator of Techbuilt, and John Bemis. Their initial goal was to create custom homes reflecting the mid-century modernism movement. This has continued and evolved through the 21st century.

Deck House, on the other hand, was established by architect William Berkes in the late 1950s. The Massachusetts-based builder specialized in prefabricated homes and became influential during the mid-century modern architectural boom.

As the years passed, Acorn Structures and Deck House further developed their respective building styles and expertise. Recognizing their shared design philosophy and complementary strengths, the two companies decided to merge in 2005, forming the Acorn Deck House Company.

Operating as a custom home builder, Acorn Deck House has continued to embrace its roots in modern design and architecture. By using advanced 3D software, the company designs and prefabricates the shell of custom homes, shipping these components worldwide for assembly by certified local builders.

Today, the Acorn Deck House Company is known for its distinctive architectural styles, catering to clients looking to blend mid-century modern elements with contemporary design. The company has successfully left its mark on the history of American manufactured housing and modern residential architecture.

Component Package

Acorn Deck House Company utilizes a panelized prefabrication system that offers full flexibility and customization in design. In order to create their unique custom homes, construction drawings are digitally broken down into wall panels and sections. The wall panels are prebuilt, and posts and beams are precut, while every component is labeled to fit together seamlessly on-site.

The use of precision joinery in the fabrication process enhances the fit and increases energy efficiency in these custom homes. Pre-cut and pre-assembled components minimize resource waste, reducing the overall environmental impact of the building process.

Co-Build Process

In addition to providing a streamlined prefab building process, the Acorn Deck House Company also engages experienced craftspeople to assemble and finish the custom homes on-site. This co-build process ensures that the craftsmanship and quality of their constructions are consistently high.

By assembling the pre-cut components on-site, the company can avoid costly delays due to weather, as all of the components are fabricated in a climate-controlled environment. This also allows them to deliver to remote locations, such as islands, mountains, or forests, where traditional construction methods may prove difficult or impractical.

By combining their innovative component package with the skills of dedicated craftspeople, Acorn Deck House Company is able to create custom homes that feature the benefits of both post and beam construction and a modern, efficient building process.
