Custom Home Academy
Brought to you by Marvin

Home is where the heart is. This has never been more true as the architecture and design community ensures that modern custom homes embody the hopes, dreams, and vision of residential clients who look to their homes for comfort and flexibility. The Custom Home Academy examines the many aspects of designing a unique residence, such as trends in home layout and ideas for contemporary kitchen and bath design. The courses of the Custom Home Academy explore single-family home design—for both new homes and renovations—and the importance of lighting, thermal comfort, outdoor space, accessibility, sustainability, and performance. With an ever-evolving world, especially given the pandemic, architects are being challenged to not only adapt to changing environments and design trends, but to an increasingly unpredictable human condition.
