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.

Exposing Brick Walls
Make sure you expose walls first. Pressure wash--never sandblast, because it damages the brick and then you have dust for months afterward. Then frame. —Angel Miller
