UPPER EAST SIDE TOWNHOUSE RENOVATION - CONSTRUCTION UPDATE

We're excited to share an update for our gut renovation and rear extension of a beautiful Upper East Side townhouse, built in 1891. High-performance European windows and precast concrete sills have just been installed at the rear extension, which also features new custom brickwork to complement the surrounding context. The new extension responds to the critical need for additional space to make this home—built on a narrow, 15'-wide lot—comfortable for the owners, a young family of four.

Roof framing is also underway. The contractor is currently repairing the existing wood joists (which may be as old as 133 years) and 'sistering' them with new wood joists for added strength. New steel beams were craned unto the roof and channeled into the existing brick party walls, providing additional support for a new landscaped roof terrace and light-filled stair bulkhead.

We're looking forward to sharing for more updates on this project soon.

STONE RIDGE RESIDENCE SET DAY

On the set day for our MODERN MODULAR Stone Ridge Residence, the set crew arrived at 7am to begin preparations, and the crane was setup by by 8:30am. The four boxes were delivered to a staging area near the site the day before. The first box was lifted at 9:30 am, and the last one was placed at 12:30 pm. The entire setting process was completed in just 3 hours with a small, but very efficient crew. With modular construction, the building time is significantly reduced compared to traditional methods. The house is expected to be completed within the next four months, by early fall.

ARCHELLO FEATURES WISCONSIN CABIN

Surrounded by trees filtering dappled light onto the site, this two-bedroom, two-bath retreat offers a tranquil setting for its owners. The design provides connection to the outdoors with the implementation of multiple covered deck spaces. Natural light is abundant inside as a result of the butterfly roof design that allows for tall ceilings and clerestory windows.

BRIDGEHAMPTON HOUSE - PLAYHOUSE UPDATE

Bridgehampton, NY – We visited our MODERN MODULAR Bridgehampton house this spring and captured some photos of the treehouse playhouse we designed after the house was completed. Made from cedar slats stained to match the house, the playhouse incorporates all the key items from the kids’ wishlists and more, including a firepole, cargo net tunnel and hammock, rope ladder, hiding places, and lookout points!

GRAMERCY APARTMENT RENOVATION - CONSTRUCTION UPDATE

We're excited to share some progress photos of the construction at our Gramercy Apartment renovation, which will be wrapping up in the next couple months.


In a recent visit, we were able to see the unique lighting details and the millwork installation coming together. Custom millwork features a palette of walnut, steel, and white marble. Integral LED lighting can be found throughout the ceiling coves and millwork, providing luxurious accent lighting in each space.

20TH ANNIVERSARY OF DWELL HOME COMPETITION

Today, we celebrate a significant milestone in the story of RESOLUTION: 4 ARCHITECTURE.

On this day, 20 years ago, both the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal highlighted our winning entry for the Dwell Home Design Invitational— a modular home with 2,400 square feet divided among five prefabricated modules—propelling RES4 into the spotlight.

The Dwell Home has become a precedent in demonstrating the opportunities of prefabricated building technology in terms of environmental factors, quality and efficiency of building, and the cost and speed of construction and design.

Considered the “Holy Grail” for modern prefab enthusiasts by the Wall Street Journal, the design and fabrication of the Dwell Home reignited enthusiasm for the promise of prefab in America and abroad.

Having designed over 120 prefab homes from Maine to Hawaii using modular, panelized, and hybrid methods of delivery, RESOLUTION: 4 ARCHITECTURE is considered one of the most prolific prefab architects practicing today, not only impacting advances within the profession, but also academic research into new methods of integrated design and prefabrication.

In the 2003 Wall Street journal article, Daniel Akst wrote, “They hope to have the house in place by early next year, but of course what they really hope is that this will be just the beginning.”

GREAT OAK RESIDENCE - CONSTRUCTION UPDATE

Photos from a recent site visit to this new Modern Modular project in East Hampton; construction will wrap up within the next few months. The pool’s been poured. Decks are being constructed this week; ipe decking was delivered while we were there. Stucco ceiling work will continue next week, which will have a big impact, lightening the covered spaces considerably. Custom stair fabrication is also in progress. We can’t wait to see those skylights in a finished space!
