Metropolitan and Regional Architecture Studio is currently working with a builder in the volume housing market to establish a new show home “The Project Home”. The process of selecting a home needs a couple of steps added to it before selecting a building plan; we are developing a modular system for design based on lot orientation and lot size. Commonly buyers select a house based on floor area, a suitable building plan to match a lot size, and the price of the dwelling. Knowing the orientation and dimensions of a lot first will help greatly to generate a building design that has much higher performance and much lower life-cycle costs. We hope to add diversity through better building performance into the volume housing market.
