Pushing the Envelope

This projects asserts Proto’s commitment to the development of diverse expressions of design language, providing for versatility within our selection of system-built homes. From the outset of this project, the intent was to express more than mere volumes, while leveraging the advantages of the system-built delivery method. By wrapping a tectonic screen onto the building facade that floats on top of the stereotomic volumes, the envelope gains a sophistication of character. In order to successfully deploy these complex elements on-site as prefabricated components, Proto uses proprietary production methods that result in a degree of precision typically not seen in residential design.
