LA's First Prefab Home Open for Opinions
Three months ago, this was the site of Leo Marmol's new prefabbed residence in Venice. It took a bit longer than the stated 6 weeks, but the 2,800 square foot Palms House is now finished and open for your interpretation.
Made from 14 modules, the home is a 2 story with a 700 square foot covered deck and all the bells and whistles one would expect from half of the Marmol Radziner Prefab empire. For example, a walnut headboard and cabinetry in the master bedroom that would set you back about $14,750. According to Curbed, the house will be open to the public through the end of the year at 734 Palms Ave in Venice.
