For RES 4, Prefab is not a gimmick but rather a tool in its already packed arsenal of good ideas. - Allison Arieff
New York, NY (PRWEB) November 13, 2013
The MODERN MODULAR is a systematic methodology of design that attempts to leverage existing methods of prefabrication to produce custom modern homes, specific to each client and site. These efforts offer an option of 'Mass Customization' to the single-family housing market, thereby potentially transforming the sub-urban fabric of the American domestic landscape.
Based on the MODERN MODULAR, Resolution: 4 Architecture (RES4) won an International Competition in 2003 for a modern prefabricated home, The Dwell Home. It has been noted by the Washington Post as the “highest profile modern prefabricated home in America,” and is considered the “Holy Grail” for modern prefab enthusiasts by the Wall Street Journal.
As a small architectural practice, Resolution: 4 Architecture’s focus has been the design of highly efficient, cost-effective, idea-driven spaces. Now, having designed over 120 homes using modular, panelized, and hybrid delivery methods, Resolution: 4 Architecture is considered one of the most prolific prefab architectural firms in the country. Their new book, with a foreword by Allison Arieff, features fourteen photographed case studies illustrating their process from design and fabrication to final construction.
