Resiliency
Hypostruction: building more with less
This new approach to home building is changing the industry for the better. At Caplow Manzano, we are able to build healthier, more resilient homes, with less materials and less wasted space.
Climate Adaptation
Caplow Manzano designs for longer lifetimes through selecting durable materials, eliminating weaknesses against water intrusion and decay, and elevating far above today’s streets to prepare for a century of rising seas and associated storm surge levels.
Health
Miami’s CM1 is the first certified WELL Residence in the world.
The Manhattan-based International WELL Building Institute sets the gold standard for health-conscious design and recently expanded their certification program to houses. Caplow Manzano entered the WELL Residence pilot program in 2023 among dozens of teams representing thousands of homes, and achieved the world’s first certification in April 2024. This certification reflects our extraordinary focus on indoor air quality, mold resistance, naturally safe materials, occupant comfort, ventilation, and daylighting. This house is also certified LEED Platinum.
