Project Dashboard | Venice Japanese-Inspired Residence (Prefab Concept)

Project Dashboard: Venice Residence

Feasibility Study for Neil Duffy: Prefabricated Concept < $2M

Revised Project Vision

This revised proposal directly addresses the client's new budgetary target of under $2 million by pivoting from a traditional, site-built construction method to a high-end prefabricated approach. The guiding vision remains the same: to create a serene, Japanese-inspired sanctuary that merges a sleek "girder and panel" aesthetic with natural warmth.

By leveraging off-site manufacturing for the home's structural components, we can significantly reduce on-site labor costs, shorten the construction timeline, and achieve a higher level of precision and quality control. This strategy allows us to preserve the ambitious design—including the central atrium and rooftop oasis—while making the project financially viable.
