An excerpt from the article: “KRDB’s primary mission is to make design more accessible, both financially and intellectually. Most people have a limited amount they can allocate to their monthly housing costs. First, find a neighborhood/community that puts you within arm’s length of as many of the components of your life as possible. This may require a premium, but most often can be offset by savings in areas such as time and transit. Then, when it comes to the house, think quality, not quantity. The average American house has doubled in size in the last fifty years—totally unnecessary. A well-designed 1,500 square foot house will live twice its size. When it comes to what goes into the house, first invest in the items that will make your home perform more efficiently, for a longer period of time (good windows, high efficiency HVAC, etc.) then if there is money left, put it in the ‘bling’.”

Chris’ primary businesses, KRDB Architects and Ma Modular, are both set up to help clients achieve the above goal. Clients can opt to design a custom home with KRDB or start with the Ma Modular “building blocks” to design a high quality modern home for approximately 1/2 the cost of designing a home from scratch. KRDB’s custom homes are typically site built, whereas the Ma Modular homes are built using a cutting edge modular home building system centered on efficiency, sustainability and affordability. Consultants at KRDB are available to talk through the advantages and practicalities of both methods to help you decide which route is best for you.
