The Original Dwell Home was the winning design of the Dwell Home Design Invitational. Sixteen architecture firms from the US and abroad were selected to submit design entries. The winning design came from Resolution 4 Architecture, a firm based in New York City. Since then, the house has been the subject of national press attention and has received accolades from media, designers, and design enthusiasts. In April 2005 it was called "the most high-profile modern prefab house in America" by the Washington Post. The project was a ground breaking case study for the marriage of prefabricated construction and cutting edge modern design. Many have credited the project as largely responsible for a resurgence of interest in modern prefab architecture. The magnitude of this interest was manifested when over 2,000 people arrived to view the home during construction in July of 2004.
