One of my all-time favorite architectural buildings is Frank Lloyd Wright’s building Fallingwater in Pennsylvania. It’s the perfect example how architecture can live in harmony with nature. For the same reason I love a lot of the new mid-century inspired architecture.
Marmol Radziner Prefab is a company based in Los Angeles that offers the clean lines of mid-century design in combination with the efficiency of factory-built homes. Their floor-to-ceiling windows capture natural light, while expansive decks promote indoor/outdoor living.
The company builds the prefab modules in their own factory and ships them complete with your choice of pre-installed interior and exterior finishes, flooring, appliances, and more. This prefabrication process and the importance of in-house construction helps to reduce waste and increase efficiency. These prefab homes are created with the environment in mind and have achieved LEED certification. For long-term sustainability, the module structures are made from recycled steel. The homes employ other green materials like solar panels for example.
But most of all I love that this approach to modern green architecture stays sensitive to the environment without sacrificing the modernist aesthetic.
