About designSTUDIO
We are a full service design office specializing in modern and prefab design with an emphasis on affordable sustainable design, materials and systems. We have a deep and abiding understanding of what makes something modern, realizing that modern isn’t a style but rather a way of inhabiting the world.
For us, materiality and process are as important as form. Our design strategy approaches form from a functionalist perspective, allowing form to arise out of the process of construction and the materials used. This strategy carries through the design of homes, entertainment venues, and other structures, to the furniture and built-ins designed for specific spaces. We also create graphic identities and environmental designs for the spaces and their surroundings.

(about picture)
courtHOUSE is a Structural Insulated Panel (SIP) house incorporating a classic modernist courtyard design. The impetus for this particular design was the 1963 vintage courtyard apartment the designer lives in. This coupled with an expressed interest from the market for a modestly sized living space led to the courtHOUSE design.
