We were on-site this week to check on the progress of our Sag Harbor Residence!
Stone installation at the entry patio is coming along well. Inside, oak hardwood flooring has been installed and is awaiting its final coats of natural finish. Appliance installation is also underway.
Below are some photos from this visit.
In a recent opinion piece, “An innovative type of housing has stalled in California for decades. Is it finally ready to break through?”, in the San Francisco Chronicle, Allison Arieff recalls how RES4’s entry won the 2003 Dwell Magazine “competition to design a modern, affordable home for what seemed then like an affordable price of $200,000. The winning home, designed by Resolution: 4 Architecture, felt anything but standardized, given its light-filled interiors, large open living space and cozy private ones.

Our MODERN MODULAR Sag Harbor Residence is in progress!
Basement framing is coming along well, while siding installation is underway. Both the interior and exterior fireplaces have been installed. With work progressing on the structure, finishes, and details, the house is continuing to take shape.

Our MODERN MODULAR Riverhead House, Lido Beach House II, and Sharon Residence were featured in a recent book by Braun Publishing: Prefab & Modular Housing.
“The prefabrication of components, rooms, or entire buildings has evolved from its origins in rationalized production to become a key area of architectural innovation. Today, rather than viewing it as a limitation, architects increasingly recognize it as an expansion of their creative agency. Within the controlled environment of the workshop, a new architectural culture is emerging, one that unites efficiency, precision, and material awareness with expressive design intent.”
