Container Home Builders & Architects

Honomobo designs and builds modern, beautiful, modular homes. Some of our homes are made from shipping containers, some are not. Our homes are designed and built so well that sometimes people cry when they see them in person.

The modern design of a Honomobo means timeless clean lines, authenticity of materials, and efficient use of space in every model that we build. Our homes are meticulously designed to offer an indoor outdoor living experience wherever you choose to place your home. Whether it’s an H series shipping container or M series rigid steel frame, a Honomobo is built from extremely durable long lasting materials and runs fully on electricity. Our world is evolving into a more sustainable place and a Honomobo is ready to function as a net positive energy home right now. The modular nature of our homes means they are built in a controlled factory environment with a rigorous quality control program and less waste than typical construction practices. Modern. Sustainable. Beautiful. Honomobo.

Who We Are and What We Do  

Charlie Lazor is the Principal and design team leader at Lazor/Office, founded in 2003.Charlie received his BA from Williams College and graduated from Yale School of Architecture in 1993. In 1996, after gaining experience at the offices of Gray Organschi Architecture and Roth & Moore Architects, he co-founded the award-winning furniture design company Blu Dot with the goal of making modern design more widely accessible. This is reflected in Lazor/Office's attention to detail and emphasis on how buildings are put together. The office design philosophy places primacy on “place making” - developing a sensitive, integrated architectural response to make the natural and the man made one, to experience site and space holistically. We begin with a rigorous study and analysis of your site’s specific composition: the obvious and the not so obvious, the views, the light, the breezes, the climate. We study and analyze your program; how you want to live, work, play. We investigate materials that are ecologically responsible, responsive to the site conditions, support your program and reflect who you are and your sensibility. We seek to synthesize all of this such that the outcome appears obvious, inevitable. Architecture is put into the service of making place, for us.

DeMaria Design Assoc. is a creative and innovative design firm offering architecture, planning, branding and interior design services.

Our clients are bold, diverse and innovative - each seeking to define, explore, identify and/or present their own creative business culture or personal lifestyles through art and architecture.

In our quest to unlock the widest array of design possibilities, we explore disciplines and successful models/case studies beyond the boundaries of architecture. We team with experts, public and private entities and educational institutions from various fields in an unrelenting design process. Through collaboration, exploration, experimentation, re-adaptation and fabrication, powerful hybrid design solutions surface from a combination of non-traditional models.

Our creative work focuses on heterogeneous relationships – hybridism among culture, craft, material, form, function, technology and most importantly, people. Each of these elements serves in some capacity as a catalyst for positive change in our physical environment. Our studio is in a perpetual evolutionary state, unencumbered by historical prejudice/ mimicry.
