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.

The curving, bulbous walls of the bath and shower reveal an unexpected secondary role as a screen for film projections, giving the house a sci-fi glow.

A steel brise-soleil in the hallway by the stairwell highlights the play of shadow and light as the sun moves. The stair is made from the same fallen silk oak tree as the dining table. Using this found timber not only created a relationship with the site, but helped to control the budget.

Builders, developers, designers, and architects have developed a range of homes that are composed of prefabricated, modular, or kit-of-parts pieces that can allow for lower costs, faster and easier on-site construction, and even higher quality spaces. Here, we delve into the differences—and similarities—among these manufactured residences.
