Three Pines, a 2,100 square foot home designed by RES4, is nestled along the edge of the Chesapeake Bay wetlands in North Beach, United States. Composed of six modular boxes arranged in a courtyard hybrid layout, this house was designed with a retiring couple in mind, prioritizing aging-in-place features. By prefabricating the majority of the home off-site, the modest budget was kept in check, and the overall construction timeline was reduced to just six months.
The West Stockbridge Residence in Massachusetts, USA, is a testament to modern, modular design by Robert Luntz of Resolution: 4 Architecture. Created in 2020 as a country retreat, this prefab house in the Berkshires reflects thoughtful planning for aging in place.
Its floor plan, a series of interconnected volumes, allows for privacy and connectivity, embracing the natural landscape with its courtyard deck and panoramic glazing. Inside, the home boasts an open kitchen and living space with stunning mountain views, a heated screened porch for extended outdoor living, and versatile guest suites. Each space, from the mudroom lined with white oak to the master suite with its expansive windows, showcases a harmonious blend of comfort and contemporary aesthetics.
