Ask an Expert: Why Remodel When You Can Build New? Acclaimed architect Jared Levy shares his expertise with prefab design and dives into how his team at Connect Homes is streamlining the entire build process. "Live in the home we want or in the place we want?"—that is the question many people find popping up in their minds when contemplating how to get more space. The choice is usually between a small, older home in their dream neighborhood or a larger new home that is farther away from where they want to live. For Jared Levy, the answer is simple: have both. Years ago, after becoming frustrated with the traditional build process, the California–based architect dove headfirst into the world of prefab design, an endeavor that led him to co-founding Connect Homes as an effective way to make modern, sustainable living more broadly accessible.
