The Studio Collection by Cavco: Modern Manufactured Homes Where Designer Features Come Standard

Custom Design Features and Affordability Come Standard with Cavco’s Studio Collection 

Sometimes you walk through a home and think: They knew exactly what they were doing when they designed this one. 

The front door handle has weight to it. The kitchen works and flows the way kitchens should. The primary bath feels like a private retreat. The colors. The storage. The lighting. Little details – the kind that usually cost extra – are just there, exactly where they should be. 

And then you find out those “extra” details aren’t upgrades. They’re included in the price of the home. 

That’s the Studio Collection by Cavco.

What Is the Studio Collection? 

The Studio Collection is a curated line of manufactured homes where every floor plan, every finish and every design decision had to earn its place. Not because it looked good in a catalog – but because it made the home more beautiful and livable for the people actually living in it. 

These homes were purposefully designed around the way people live today by Cavco’s Design Innovation Team – designers, floor plan specialists and materials experts from across the country. They started by asking buyers a simple, straightforward question: what do you actually want and need in a home?  

The answers shaped everything. 

Megan Foster leads Cavco’s Design Innovation Team, bringing nearly two decades of experience designing everything from innovative commercial spaces and high-end residences to modern interiors for manufactured homes. She and her team drew on their shared experience to create something distinctive in the manufactured housing market – a collection designed to make an impression, both inside and out. 

As Megan puts it:

“These are homes for everyone. They’re affordable. They’re beautiful. They’re thought through. Researched years in advance – from cabinet color to what the front door handle feels like. That’s the balance: current enough to feel right today, timeless enough to still feel right in seven years.”

• Standout curb appeal – Exteriors designed to make you look twice: details like board-and-batten siding, mixed textures, striking color combinations and craftsman-style front doors with hardware that sets the tone before you step inside. 

• A kitchen worth gathering in – Buyers are spending more time cooking, entertaining and working from home. So, the kitchen anchors every Studio Collection floor plan, with islands, custom range hoods, pendant lighting and pass-through windows to the back porch in select plans. 

• Design with staying power – Great style should age well. The Studio Collection draws a deliberate line between current and timeless, using on-trend materials and color palettes sourced exclusively for this collection. 

NOTE: Features vary by model and manufacturing facility. See individual Studio Collection homes for details.

• Spaces that work – Generous cabinet storage, open floor plans and outdoor living spaces (built-in porches in select models).  Each home in the Studio Collection is thoughtfully designed by a team of experts who are obsessed with elevating the life and style of the modern homeowner. 

What Makes a Studio Collection Home Different? 

The outside of a Cavco Studio Collection home is designed to command attention. 

Depending on the home model, these homes feature mixed exterior textures such as shake siding, board-and-batten siding and horizontal panels that create visual depth and dimension. Some plans feature an Alpine dormer roofline, an architectural detail that gives the home character, curb appeal and a beautiful silhouette. 

Here's what that looks like inside, room by room.

As Megan described the Studio Collection design philosophy:  

“It’s a tactile experience as much as it is visual. You’re going to open drawers, touch closet handles, feel the floor. It’s all packaged together. It’s not just a visual change or a cabinet color. It’s more than that. It’s something substantial.”

The Value Is in the Package 

Here's what surprises buyers most about Studio Collection homes. 

The special features in a Studio Collection home aren't upgrades. They're part of a deliberately assembled package built around what actually belongs in a well-designed home.  

On comparable homes, many of these upgrade features may cost extra. In the Studio Collection, they don't. 

Because the homes in our Studio Collection are built across multiple Cavco facilities nationwide, the Design Innovation Team sources materials at a scale that most builders can't match – and those savings come back to the buyer. As Megan said:  

"It's part of a studio national collection that has been curated to be more affordable for you. We work with materials companies to not only find unique standout items, but to also buy them in bulk to keep them affordable." 

When you choose a home from our Studio Collection, you are not starting with a base home and building toward something you actually want. You're starting with a home that was already designed with everything you wanted packaged together at an amazing price.
