Turkel Design is an architectural design firm that specializes in modern custom homes using panelized prefabrication. They provide residential architecture services to homeowners in any location by designing and manufacturing a building component package, which is shipped to the building site and assembled by a specialized crew or a local contractor.
History
[edit]Turkel Design was founded in 2008 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, by Joel Turkel and Meelena Oleksiuk Turkel,[1] graduates of the Master of Architecture program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[2] At MIT, Joel Turkel published his thesis on a new form of sustainable, culturally appropriate residential housing for the Arctic region;[3] Meelena Oleksiuk Turkel published hers on a system of customizable design for the three-decker house. [4]
In 2014 the practice partnered with Dwell magazine to introduce the Axiom Series of prefab home designs, as part of the Dwell Homes Collection, which range from 1,850 to 3,250 square feet and can be modified according to the client's specifications.[5]
Notable works

Notable works include:
Lake Muskoka Boathouse in Port Carling, Ontario, received an Honor prize at the Canadian Wood Council's Wood Design and Building Awards 2022-2023,[8] and an Honorable Mention from the Architect Magazine Residential Design Awards 2023.[9]
Mulmur Hills Farm in East Mulmur, Ontario, Canada was named House of the Month in the December 2022 edition of Architectural Record.[7]
Desert House in Palm Springs, California, is a single-level post-and-beam modern home that Joel and Meelena Turkel designed for their family in Palm Springs, California. It was a Featured Home at Palm Springs Modernism Week in 2019.[10]
In 2013, Howe Sound House, on Gambier Island, off the coast of British Columbia, Canada, received two Gold Awards and one Silver Award for design and green-build features from the National Association of Home Builders in its Waterfront Hideaway categories.[11]
