Architect introduces room kits. (Residential).

International architecture firm Michael Graves & Associates announced the introduction of their customizable kits for single room additions know as "Pavilions."

There are three plan types -- the Brighton, the Heatlicote and the Sherwood -- which are available to consumers through target.com and distributed by Lindal Cedar Homes. The joint Pavilion initiative was launched on target.com.

"The architectural and interior design of residences of all scales and types is an important part of our practice at Michael Graves & Associates. We've designed high-rise housing, student dormitories and residential colleges, single-family homes and even apartments," said Graves. "My partners in the firm and I are often asked by our clients how they might expand their homes as their families grow or their needs change. They might need a home office, a studio, a new eating space, a garden room, a pool pavilion or a porch. The standard process of obtaining this extra space is cumbersome, costly and disruptive."

Using prompts on target.com, Target's guests will be able to customize their Pavilions using a palette of siding and color choices provided. These options take into account that what is appropriate for one home, region or climate might not be for another. As the final step in this process a Lindal dealer will contact the homeowners, finalize the plans and build the Pavilions either as additions to existing houses or as freestanding structures on the property.

The new Pavilions are part of a long tradition of American kit homes that are shipped all over the country and assembled on site. Kits, fabricated by companies like Lindal Cedar Homes, reduce the complexity and cost of construction. With the collaboration of Michael Graves' designs and Lindal's high-quality materials and craftsmanship, homeowners can benefit from the economies of mass production without sacrificing the important sense of the domestic. With the accessibility afforded by target.com and the extensive network of Lindal dealers throughout the country, the Graves' Pavilions are widely available.
