Connect Homes

From their about - company webpage.

Before starting our new company, we both worked at Marmol Radziner Prefab for over 5 years, where Jared served as director of architectural services. While there, we won several national design awards and our homes were written up in numerous magazines such as Dwell, Builder, Newsweek, Time, Architectural Digest (a first ever for a prefab house) and GQ (dubbed “Masterpiece in a Box”). Here are a few links to some of the articles about the homes we worked on while at Marmol Radziner Prefab:

But after spending close to six years working in the prefab world, we saw a lot of problems in the prefab industry as a whole and in particular, the modern design segment that we were part of. We decided to set out to find a better way...

Make It Right

"More than 4,000 homes in New Orleans' Lower 9th Ward were destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. Two years later, when actor Brad Pitt toured the city, the neighborhood was still deserted and devastated. Pitt promised the families he met there, that he would help make it right. He founded Make It Right to build 150 affordable, green storm resistant homes for families living in the Lower 9th Ward when the storm hit. 
Make It Right has completed nearly 50 homes and brought more than 200 people home to New Orleans Lower 9th Ward. 
Make It Right builds safe, sustainable and affordable homes for working families. We aim to be a catalyst for change in the building industry in New Orleans and beyond."
