vision: adapt custom design to prefab techniques
Like many architects, Geoffrey Warner welcomes change. Years ago, the St. Paul, Minn.–based architect quit his job at a big commercial firm in search of something missing from his professional life: the hands-on nuts-and-bolts of construction. “When you graduate from architecture school, you don't know anything about how to put real buildings together,” he says. “So I started doing furniture and interiors and construction.” The experience serves Warner well in his current practice, Alchemy Architects. In fact, it came in very handy when designing and building one of his firm's most popular works to date, the weeHouse—a modular project first designed as a custom home in Minneapolis.
