neon architecture new leave a comment foundation work april 8 2015 by brian the foundation work has been underway this week and will be done by the end of the week block work started on monday insulation work was yesterday and weather permitting they should be wrapping up the remainder of the work by the end of this work guess what this means yep the house will be delivered and set next week we are quickly going to go from nothing to a two story structure in a matter of days ah the beauty of prefab as you can see we opted for a crawl space on this house this was partially driven by economics and also by the prefab process when working with prefab homes you have to go with either a crawl space or a basement as a slab on grade simply won t work this is because of the way prefab homes are manufactured in order to build walls both interior and exterior you need a floor structure on which to build them in the factory this necessitates building the floor structure in the factory as a result a slab on grade simply would not work we will wait to do any concrete pours the garage garage apron front porch sidewalk until after the house gets set by the end of next week the site is going to look dramatically different keep your eyes open and look for the crane mid week next week share this share on facebook opens in new window facebook share on twitter opens in new window

factory and see the house on the line i have to admit it s pretty exciting to see things in person and have the ability to walk through the home while it s on the assembly line it takes things to a whole new level the house is progressing nicely and should be wrapping up production at the factory soon the opportunity to walk through a space less than 15 0 wide really served as a reminder to the scale of the home in a really positive way the home lives larger than it feels and this gave us a good sense of how the spaces will truly feel needless to say we are really excited to see these modules show up on site the walkthrough of the house also served as a reminder to the true value of prefabricated home construction the factory conditions are clean and organized workers don t have to contend with weather or various other site conditions definitely a positive in my book we ll be sharing plenty of pictures and updates as the house really comes together stay tuned share this share on

march 19 2015 by brian yes its true this week marks the start of a brand new business venture one that has been a long time coming and one that affords me the opportunity to pursue concepts and practices in architecture i have been passionate about for quite some time neon architecture yes neon architecture why neon why not neon exemplifies and represents much of what we are striving for to stand out to be bold to go against the norm to challenge the status quo the modern lifestyle of today is much different than it was even 3 or 5 years ago and its our responsibility as designers and builders to respond to this shifting trend and to do so in a thoughtful conscientious well designed manner people want to live in cities people want to live in urban environments people want to live in homes that reflect their lifestyle and reflect the way they truly live from the quality of space to its size to its relationship to the outdoors they want smart spaces spaces that are efficient and useful spaces that they can live in and grow in as many of you are aware 955 hosbrook is the first house we are executing it is the prototype for our foray into both the design and construction world it represents many of these ideals mentioned above and serves as a benchmark for our future development 955 hosbrook site of initial prefab home 955 hosbrook is built by prefab modular methods meaning it s primarily built in a controlled factory setting why you might ask prefabricated homes simply afford a greater level of control and precision being built outside of the elements in a controlled environment with a streamlined process to us it just makes sense the prefabricated factory built model is a better use of resources taking advantage of the industry and producing a better built home we design it the factory builds it you buy it simplify the process simplify the product tailor it to the 21st century i think you get it so if you or someone you know wants a pretty sweet little home now you know where to look ha but seriously we feel that designers and builders have genuinely been hesitant to touch this market and this demographic we can t continue to do so and frankly why would we want to neglect the way people live today and continue to give them the same home we saw 15 years ago i know we at neon architecture don t think that s the responsible way to work in the world today 955 hosbrook is under construction in the factory and things are in the works site work is commencing and before you know it the crane will be rolling down the street to set the home these are exciting times we are continuing to acquire lots for building and are in the early design stages for future homes to build this year we ve got a lot in the works and would love for all of you to come along for the ride so stay tuned for lots and lots of new info in the coming days and weeks we will soon have a fully operational website where we will be transitioning much of this blog as well as

indiana indianapolis modular prefab leave a comment building blocks april 25 2014 by brian it seems to be a good time to update everyone on what has been going on behind the scenes for my new home in fountain square as many of you know the process of designing and building a new home is a challenging one especially when dealing with many of the constraints of 955 hosbrook primarily being the lot size and budget constraints but as you know i am a firm believer in designing compact contemporary designs that don t break the bank as a result i have been hard at work behind the scenes weighing options tweaking design elements exploring construction techniques etc etc one method of construction that has quickly moved to the forefront of options and is almost finalized in becoming the chosen method of construction for this house is prefab modular construction i have met with all american homes factory in decatur in toured their factory and been in numerous talks with them regarding my house it just so happens by the way that the dimensions of my house lend themselves almost perfectly to their construction techniques while much of their work is more traditional in its aesthetics they have certainly not ignored the contemporary housing market and have been involved in a few really interesting projects michelle kaufmann s smart home at the museum of science and industry in chicago tryon farm by edward noonan associates in michigan city in as you can see these projects lend themselves to a very similar aesthetic we hope to be able to determine if this is our best direction in the very near future so we can then move forward and proceed with the start of construction stay tuned these are exciting times share this share on facebook opens in new window facebook

955 hosbrook design research inspiration tagged architecture contemporary design fountain square indianapolis modern modular prefab urban leave a comment house update october 19 2013 by brian you may be wondering the status of the house as of late we had to sort of take a short break and take the time to proceed through the variance process which we were finally approved for on tuesday after being continued for an extra month from september to october due to requests from neighbors this is quite exciting and really was a major hurdle we had to leap to take one step closer to construction for those of you who may not be familiar with the variance process a variance is essentially asking the city to make an exception to the zoning code in the case of 955 hosbrook a number of variances were essentially required in order to develop the property the current zoning code for the city was last updated in the 1960s a time when society was in the midst of suburbanization and the automobile dominated culture as a result much of the zoning ordinances reflect this ideology this means that the code is written with much more of a suburban mindset often making it difficult to develop on small urban infill lots which is a really unfortunate side effect of the zoning code the city however is very aware of this situation and is the process of re writing much of the zoning code in an effort know as indy rezone this is definitely reassuring and i hope to see many of these issues addressed when the results of this effort are revealed as mentioned the size of 955 hosbrook essentially necessitated variances in order to be developed here is a quick breakdown of the variances that were required square footage the code specifies a specific first floor square footage minimum and this house does not meet that requirement the house is 625 sf on the first floor and the requirement is 660 sf not far off though parking the code requires 2 parking spaces per single family residence this becomes extremely difficult on a 20 lot and the proposed design calls for a single car garage open space a minimum of 55 open space is required the proposed design has a net area of 43 open space setbacks the code has specific requirements for setbacks from the property lines with the sides being a minimum of 4 10 aggregate rear being 15 for the primary structure and the front setback being 25 or dictated by average setback along the surrounding block this proved to be the most contentious variance request with the surrounding neighbors however the house design simply took cues from the surrounding neighborhood with many homes exhibiting the proposed setbacks the house design was seeking in fact the scale of the house will fit in better with the neighborhood with the variances than it would have without these making it an argument of context as a result the staff gave full support to all of the requested variances so now that we ve cleared this hurdle we can focus on the completion of documents pricing and starting construction we hope to begin construction before winter really sets in stay...
