Axiom Series by Turkel Design

Launched in 2014, and exclusively selected for the Dwell Prefab program as part of our 10-year partnership between Turkel Design and Dwell Media, the Axiom Series consists of 11 standard designs that can be built as is, or customized to suit your needs. Each of the homes is designed with a prefabricated panelized building system that integrates smart design, resource conservation, energy efficiency, and a predictable building process.

The ready-to-assemble building components are packaged for shipping efficiency and delivered to sites worldwide, where an experienced installation crew provides on-site assembly services for the weather-tight shell. The package includes pre-cut, architectural-grade Douglas fir beams, wood-frame, aluminum-clad windows, factory-assembled walls, floor and roof panels, cabinetry, and a variety of interior and exterior finishes.

Axiom 2750 by Turkel Design

-3 bedrooms
-3.5 baths
-possible single level living

Our vision for living on a steeply-sloped site is a stack of two living spaces. You enter the upper living space from the uphill side, then walk toward the view as the hill falls away, leaving you high in the air. The lower living space is tucked into the hill: you descend to it by an open stair, then walk toward the view, and step out directly onto the hillside.

The upper living space is an expansive great room, and off to one side is a full master-bedroom suite - allowing the possibility for single-level living. This level also features a large screened porch, directly off the kitchen – all sharing in the same unobstructed view. The lower living space includes a more intimate family room, flanked by a bedroom and junior master suite.  Suitable as a vacation home or primary residence, this design can be customized to allow for downhill entry if required.

Axiom 2610 by Turkel Design

-3 bedrooms + office + family
-3 baths
-possible single level living

This is our vision for urban living. From the entry, you are drawn through a dining area to a double-height kitchen opening directly onto a secluded patio – ideal for outdoor dining. Just beyond, large sliding glass panels retract into a concealed pocket, allowing the living room to spill into the back yard. With a potential bedroom and full bath off the private patio, this home is designed to accommodate single-level living.

Upstairs, the house bifurcates. At the front are bedrooms, bath and office.  At the rear, enjoying private views of the back yard, a generous master suite is accessed via an open bridge, overlooking the great room below.

Axiom 2110 by Turkel Design 
Axiom Desert House
-3 bedrooms + office
-3 baths
-single level living

Many cultures feature houses with rooms grouped around a private courtyard: this is our take on that venerable tradition. Passing through a flat-roofed entry, the space expands as you encounter a high, beamed ceiling, sloping upward to 12 feet. This is the great room - 40 feet in length, it opens directly onto the walled courtyard through glass panels that slide away into hidden pockets. An especially loved feature of the room is a 4-by-12-foot window-seat extending into and overlooking the courtyard. This too has operable glass panels that tuck away into pockets: a charming place to lie down—even sleep—“half-in, half-out.”

Master suites occupy both ends of this “L” shaped home, each with private access to the courtyard; an ideal arrangement for a shared vacation home, in town or out. While being careful to ensure privacy, the outward facing walls stop short of the overhanging roof, bringing in balancing light and capturing expansive outward views.

Axiom 2350 by Turkel Design
-3 bedrooms + loft
-3 baths
-possible single level living

This home, appropriate for narrow city as well as broad lots with expansive views, addresses the street with a private face, while throwing itself open in two directions through the glazed great room. The dining, kitchen, and living room are grouped in an “L” shape that embraces a covered deck. Within this “L,” the ceiling heights vary dramatically, giving each space a distinctive feeling, while maintaining an open flow between them. Discretely tucked away on the main level, a bedroom suite allows for single-level living, if desired.

Among the most delightful spaces is the loft office: perched above the kitchen, it not only looks down on the living and dining rooms, but directs one’s gaze upward and outward.
