Description

The pressures California puts on a residential project ‒ where you can build, what you can build, what the site and climate demand, what it costs, and what clients now expect ‒ are moving into every other market. But they come earlier (and sometimes harder) on the West Coast. Four leaders from Marmol Radziner, a California architect-led design/build firm spanning architecture, interiors, landscape, and construction, walk through how they solve those challenges, with their Case Study: Adapt prefab project just one case in point about how they're innovating against the ever-widening array of constraints on residential building and design.
