the story

Holden Co. exists to streamline the entire construction process, improve the human condition, and provide the ability to build anywhere.

Holden Co. was established in the back of a van in Yosemite Valley, a cocoon for rest and conversation after long days of hiking. The vision: create a space where anyone can dream, think, live, get away, and feel a true connection to nature. Minka is that place, a place to find your wild.

"The vision was to create a space where anyone can dream, think, live, getaway, and feel a true connection to nature."

the difference

We design and build innovative pre-engineered cabins, homes + ADUs.

  1. Design

    Our designs are modern, yet completely livable. Whether you want a rural getaway, or an urban escape, a Holden Co. cabin can give you exactly what you need, in the manner that you need it.

  2. Materials

    Wood is the only renewable structural material. Our structures are created from Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) and Glulam (GLT). Not only is this engineered wood beautiful, it allows us to design and build a cabin unrivalled.

  3. Efficiency

    Pre-fabricated components enable faster build times without sacrificing quality.

why mass timber

The goal: introduce mass timber into the single family + ADU marketplace.
