Construction

The Model M prefab by Freedomky.

Floor Plan of Gneissland by Legendary Group

A simple floor plan emphasizes the rugged materiality of this elongated, cabin-style home in Valle de Bravo.

A custom concrete planter is now home to a 70-year-old olive tree. The couple reconfigured the front porch to allow for a straight path between the front door and the driveway for better circulation.

The family was drawn to this home for it's 90-foot double-wide lot, mature trees and park-like setting.

Now, there are two different seating areas off the back of the house, rather than facing the driveway and neighbor as they did before.

A third option is designed with an urban environment in mind, with a slender second story and a foldable lower-level addition.

Minimod Curucaca floor plan

Comprising 11 modules, this green-roofed prefab was built in 90 days in a factory near São Paulo and then transported to the site in three shipments on flatbed trucks.

Bizhouse section

This artfully minimalist Australian kitchen combines concrete, oak, steel, and prefabricated panels with a substantial marble countertop and backsplash.

Now, the sizeable kitchen is an exceptional blend of old and new. The original floors, coffered ceiling, and windows are joined with IKEA cabinets with Semihandmade fronts, and Vermont-sourced Danby marble counters.
