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. The architects beautifully integrated the home with its wooded site with what [we] call ‘modules of use,’ essentially building blocks that can be reconfigured in an endless number of ways….”

The decks are now framed up. This deck will be enclosed as a screened porch. Up in the tree canopy the living spaces evoke the sense of being in a treehouse.

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.”

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!
