Precision-Prefab: Design and Construction for Remote-Locale Luxury Wellness [HSW]

As affluent consumers increasingly prioritize wellbeing, a new paradigm for construction of luxury venues is emerging, thanks to recent technological advances. Development of luxury homes and hotels is a rapidly evolving sector, and developers are looking for guaranteed high- quality, turnkey results with bespoke looks and peerless IAQ — a tall order for those remote locations (desert, mountain, tropics) that these demographics favor. 

In this session, an architect focused on luxury sector joins a recognized leader in supplying architectural glass and other solutions  to present new paradigms in project delivery. The “hybrid prefab” approach they outline leverages precision-engineered prefab systems to defy the gravity of traditional building and modular proportions, delivering stunning bespoke aesthetics and ensuring high-quality results with reduced on-site construction time, and requiring fewer specialized subtrades.
