Plattform at 930 is the first of a set of three houses to be constructed on three vacant and contiguous lots in the Highland Park neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, located at 930 â 934 Mellon Street. The site is nestled in the heart of the neighborhood, just two blocks from the Bryant Street shopping district and minutes from Highland Park. The developer, Platform at 930, LLC, is managed by Laura Nettleton of Thoughtful Balance. Laura designs her âPlattformâ houses using Passive House standards. They will be built by Eco-Craft Homes, modular home builders based in Pittsburgh. Eco-Craftâs advanced prefabricated construction approach allows them to build virtually any home plan in as little as 90 days after ordering windows, compared to the 8-18 months required for conventional on-site construction. Laura Nettleton engaged the community in public meetings about the project and the community influenced the design of the houses so they will be well received when they are built.
