History Mr. Geoffrey Warner began his own firm in 1989 after realizing that he wanted to do more than the day-to-day business. His design has spanned from hands-on construction to furnishings to even lighting design. His approach is quite simple: “maximize the impact of modest budgets through creative construction technologies” (weehouse.com) weeHouse Alchemy’s completion of the first weeHouse in 2003, then just an inexpensive prefab cabin, gained international attention as a symbol of architectural optimism. Since then, Alchemy has widened its scope, developing the weeHouse Geoffrey Warner, Founder Alchemy Architects and weeHouse as a prefabricated answer for cabins, houses, offices, rooftop studios, and multi-unit developments, and has completed over 3 dozen prefabricated projects around the United States. Whether you are looking to build a single site-built 200 square foot studio or a 75 unit prefab condominium, be sure to contact us and we will further evaluate your project needs. We work on both a project fee and hourly basis depending on project specifics.
