A Simple Plan
A Marmol Radziner–designed prefab house, trucked onto a remote Northern California site, takes the pain out of the construction process.
Studio owner Joey Williams uses his space to work from home as an Austin-based media director.
The main building sinks then elevates in full view of ocean.
