    ROCIO ROMERO

    Rocio Romero is a celebrated Chilean-American architectural designer

    who is actively involved in residential home design and construction in

    the U.S., Chile, France, and Canada. In addition to her acclaimed line of

    prefabricated homes the LV Series Romeros design work includes

    commercial interiors, custom residential homes, furniture, and a gallery.

    Rocio is a graduate of the University of California at Berkeley, where she

    received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Environmental Design with a Major

    in Architecture. She received a Masters in Architecture from the Southern

    California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc).

    Rocio and her work have been featured in numerous publications. Paul

    Goldberger of The New Yorker wrote, Romeros designs stand out for

    their clarity, simplicity, and grace. Karrie Jacobs, founding editor in chiefof Dwellmagazine, claimed in her book The Perfect $100,000 Housethat

    Rocio was the first to figure out how to market modern prefab homes:

    Even as competitors and imitators spring up, Rocio is the one who

    really took on the problem of prefabricating a simple, attractive, low-cost

    modern house and solved it. Romero has served as a judge for many

    competitions, including the 99K House, Living Box, andArchitecture

    Magazines Home of the Year award. Rocios own work has been on

    display in national and international museums, including the Walker Art

    Center, MOCA, Vancouver Art Gallery, and the Triennale di Milano.

    THE LV SERIES

    The LV Series is an acclaimed line of modern kit homes designed and manufactured

    by Rocio Romero, LLC. Each of the four LV models has been thoughtfully designed to

    enhance a modern lifestyle and connect its owners to the outdoors. Our kit homes are

    affordable, easily built, and highly customizable.

    From our headquarters in Missouri, we craft a prefabricated Kit of Parts that makes up

    the exterior shell of the LV Home, then deliver the Kit anywhere a new owner requests.

    The LV Home employs traditional construction materials and techniques, so any general

    contractor can build one.

    LV SERIES HISTORY

    The first LV Series Home was built on a farm in Laguna Verde, Chile hence the LV

    moniker. Since 2002, we have built LV Homes all across the United States, Chile, and in

    Canada and France. Several hundred LV Kits have been purchased in total, with ownersbuilding a wide range of unique homes tailored to their specific sites and lifestyles.

    A TRADITION OF QUALITY

    Since the beginning, Rocio Romeros LV Homes have met the most stringent engineering

    requirements. We utilize the very best materials for our homes. Our trusses span up

    to 24 feet, allowing us to create large expansive spaces. Our kit wall panels use strong

    lumber materials. We use steel load-bearing posts, which create large openings for

    windows. Prior to shipment, we inspect every prefabricated component. And we

    provide every general contractor with a free LV Kit Help Line.

    GREEN

    Our designs are environmentally friendly. We embrace

    the beauty of the landscape by visually bringing the

    outdoors in. We respect our environment by usingprefabricated systems that minimize consumed

    resources. Our designs offer excellent lighting

    and ventilation, making your home a healthy and

    comfortable environment.

    We design our homes to be energy efficient by

    creating deep wall and roof cavities, which allow us to

    over-insulate and achieve remarkable R-values. The

    LV Home has (2) 6 walls and achieves R-38; the roof

    achieves R-50. Since most heat gain and heat loss

    occurs through the roof, it is a key design element that

    blocks the strong summer sun and keeps the winter

    suns heat inside your home.

    We sell and ship only our signature design

    components that translate the LV design, so that

    we can fit up to four Kit Homes on one truck. We

    flat pack our products to further minimize the space

    required for shipping. These strategies enable us to

    be more green than our modular competitors, since

    we create fewer truck omissions by shipping less.

    We have designed homes for clients who arecompletely off the grid, and for others who use solar

    power, passive solar, radiant heating, swamp coolers,

    water catchment systems, and more. We regularly

    work with our customers to come up with creative

    green solutions.

    DESIGN PRINCIPLESRocio Romero is committed to producing simple, modern, green designs.

    SIMPLE

    Rocio Romero rigorously employs the principles of simplicity to produce spaces that promote

    natural air and light, have balanced proportions and clean lines, and whose construction

    is straightforward and affordable. Our minimalist tendencies and careful attention to detail

    ensure clean lines. This causes us to rethink traditional solutions. For example, our external

    gutter is visually hidden by the faux wall panel. In addition, the detailing of our flat sheet metal

    hides the fasteners behind the material, so all you see is a clean silhouette. Great space is

    about quality not quantity, and our designs maximize quality living space by minimizing the

    clutter of kitchens, bathrooms, and closets by tucking these storage spaces in the back.

    MODERN

    In a world of traditionally designed houses, the LV stands out for its original and modern

    aesthetic. It is a structure that celebrates glass, steel, and light, creating a contemporary

    yet comfortable environment for the discriminating homeowner who is passionate

    about modern architecture and design. The use of cutting-edge techniques and materials

    further establishes the LV as a structure designed and built for the 21st century.

    DESIGN OPTIONS

    As an LV Series homeowner, you will make design selections in four key areas: Foundation,

    Exterior Siding, Optional Upgrades, and Custom Design Solutions

    FOUNDATION

    There are three standard types of LV foundation plans: crawlspace, basement, and slab on

    grade. All have been pre-engineered for the standard LV Series Kit Home.

    EXTERIOR SIDING

    The exterior siding of the LV Series comes in over 30 different colors of Kynar 500 coated

    galvanized steel. If you would like to use something other than the Kynar siding, you can om

    exterior siding from your Kit package.

    OPTIONAL UPGRADES

    We have designed the LV Series to be easily structurally upgraded. Colder-climate owners,

    example, have increased their LVs snow load from 20 mph to 50 mph, while owners in hurric

    prone areas have increased their LVs wind load from 120 mph to 150 mph.

    CUSTOM DESIGN SOLUTIONS

    Rocio Romero, LLC provides a wide range of custom design services, from reconfiguring int

    layouts to combining and stacking LV models to create a larger home or compound.

    CUSTOM DESIGNSDESIGN SERVICES

    The LV Series models have been designed to be built individually or combined to create

    a larger home or compound. Rocio Romero, LLC can provide a wide range of design

    services from straightforward customizations like reconfiguring your interior layout to

    more complex customizations, such as combining and stacking LV models. If you

    require custom design assistance, it will be charged as an additional expense. Pricing for

    customization will vary in accordance to the degree of customization you require. Fees are

    billed hourly or on a pre-bid basis.

    STANDARD LV SERIES HOMES are pre-designed. Upon purchasing you will receive a

    full construction document set that can be used to attain a building permit. Additional

    design services may be required if there are special requirements from your local building

    authorities and/or financing organizations. Also, if you a re building in an area that requires

    certification by an engineer, additional services and fees will apply.

    CUSTOM LV SERIES HOMES are LV HOMES that are customized to meet personal and

    site needs, such as reconfiguring walls, adding rooms, adding LV models, and altering

    model sizes. This adds more time and cost to the overall process, as we will need to

    discuss the options, design and draw construction documents and shop drawings,

    engineer the project, and re-price your LV Series Home.

    ENGINEERING SERVICES

    We can have a structural engineering firm that is licensed in all 50 states certify all your

    building plans including the foundation plan so long as our advertised structural

    requirements meet your local building requirements. Additionally, this firm can certify your

    home for energy codes throughout all 50 states.

    PRELIMINARY SCHEMATICS

    Rocio Romero can prepare schematic drawings for potential LV customers, to make sure

    that your LV Home meets your needs and your location. These drawings will help facilitate

    design fee estimates, preliminary loan and appraisal processes, and ballpark bid estimates

    from contractors.

    LV SERIES KIT HOME MATERIALS

    The LV Series Kit Home comes with Plans, a Construction Binder, and a Kit of Parts for the exterior shell of the home.

    Upon making your initial deposit, you will receive the Plans and Construction Binder. Once you have made your final

    payment, you will receive the Kit of Parts.

    PLANS

    The PLANS are a complete set that you can use to attain a building permit and construction bids; these Plans can also

    be used as construction documents. The drawings included are: title sheet, general notes, foundation plan, construction

    plan, electrical and finish plan, reflected ceiling plan, roof framing plan, roof plan, exterior elevations, sections, wall

    sections, details, interior elevations, window and door schedule, and structural plans and details.

    CONSTRUCTION BINDER

    The CONSTRUCTION BINDER contains construction instructions, a list of materials, a construction schedule, and

    product specifications. The instructions guide your General Contractor in how to build the Kit Home. The materials list isfor all the different construction phases; your General Contractor can use it as a list to order materials n ot included in the

    Kit. The construction schedule outlines the timeline of the construction of the LV with all of the different subcontractors.

    The product specifications contain technical data for materials and products used in the LV Series, such as evaluation

    reports, product installation instructions and diagrams, product maintenance, and general product data.

    KIT OF PARTS

    The KIT OF PARTS is an exterior package that translatesthe signature design components of the LV Series Homes.

    It includes the OPEN WALL PANELS, MATERIALS, and

    the EXTERIOR SIDING. Non-signature exterior design

    components, like windows, floor framing, roof framing,

    and a roof, are not included.

    OPEN WALL PANELS are Wall Panels and Faux Wall

    Panels. They are built of either 2x6 or 2x4 framing with

    OSB nailed to the studs. The studs have predrilled

    holes along the bottom so your electrician can easily wire

    throughout. The panels are installed and fastened using

    standard construction procedures. Wall Panels are part

    of the structure and define the exterior walls of the home,

    as well as one interior wall that is structural. Faux Wall

    Panels are fastened to the Wall Panels and create our

    2-wall panel depth. Faux Wall Panels are multi-purposed;

    they allow the LV to be more energy efficient and ensure

    the clean and modern look of the LV.

    The MATERIALS include the Steel Posts and Tapered

    Boards. The 4x4 steel posts are prefabricated posts with

    welded top and bottom plates that have predrilled holesto easily connect bolts to the foundation and roof beam.

    The prefabricated tapered boards are installed on the

    faux panels at the parapet wall and next to every window

    and slider door, so that water runs away from the h

    The EXTERIOR SIDING includes all of the metallic

    500 coated galvanized steel for the exterior fini

    your home. You can choose from over 30 colors.

    Kynar package specifically includes the flat panel

    corrugated metal, and trim. However, not include

    any door and window sills and pans, nails, bolts, r

    screws, and silicone. All the Kynar Flat Panels have

    on the back which hook into cleats. The hem gives th

    panels more rigidity and gives the metal a cleaner

    avoiding the use of rivets for fastening. Applying

    flat sheet metal is a craft; therefore we recommend

    an architectural sheet metal company to install them

    CONSTRUCTION COSTS

    On average the home costs $120-$195 per sq. ft. to build. This includes all the constructio

    costs associated with the LV Home. Specifically it includes the LV Kit, Kit shipping, Kit ass

    foundation, floor framing, roof framing, windows, roof, and all the interior finish costs. This

    does not include costs outside of the LV Home build, such as the cost of land, landscapin

    infrastructure (wells, driveways, septic, landscaping, etc.). In the Midwest, the LV can be b

    $120 per sq. ft. In California, as well as certain select areas on the East Coast where high

    costs exist, the average is between $150-$195 per sq. ft. DIYers have built LV Series Hom

    low as $87 per sq. ft. and high-end client build outs have been as high as $250 per sq. ft.

    The overall consensus of our LV homeowners has been that the LV Series construction pr

    average the same or slightly below local stick-built rates in their area. Our clients consider

    great value given that high-end modern design is usually very expensive and on the upper

    their local market.

    CONSTRUCTION PROCESSBUILDING YOUR LV

    Construction Binder make the process of building easy. In addition, we are available for any
