Our Mission
Cofounders Joel and Meelena Turkel established their practice to fulfill the dream of making beautiful, high-quality architecture available to clients no matter where they live. Now, with more than 200 projects completed worldwide, Turkel Design has refined a signature process that combines design excellence with precision prefabrication to ensure predictability of cost, timeline, and quality.
We Design for You and Your Property
With dozens of completed projects in the Pacific Northwest, we have expertise designing for this wide range of environmental conditions. Our process begins with a site visit and analysis to ensure that your home takes advantage of what you love about your location. Every site has its challenges and opportunities – here are some we consider:
Predictability of Cost, Timeline, and Quality
In this time of fluctuating inflation and interest rates, you need to be confident that your project will stay within your budget. At Turkel Design, once we’ve taken you through our interactive custom design process, we provide a fixed quote for your prefabricated building package. Once the project begins, we develop and regularly update a customized eventline to ensure that you always know how it is progressing. We leverage the predictability of prefab to ensure transparency around the cost and timeline of your custom home project.
Quality is not often associated with prefab homes – not all prefab methods are equal. We use a panelized prefabrication method, in which the focus is not only on efficiency and predictability, but on high quality design, materials, and execution. Each custom home is essentially built three times: first using a 3D digital model, then on a factory floor, and finally on your building site, ensuring that the final product is assembled as designed. This process leverages the inspired design required to realize your vision, and results in a durable, weathertight home that can be completed more efficiently and predictably than a stick-built home.
Sustainability is Key
We employ innovative materials and systems to reduce waste and ensure that your home is energy efficient and weathertight. Once the building component package is fabricated, we flat-ship it to reduce the number of trips to your building site.
