Among the most inspirational events at the famed Monterey Design Conference are the 15-minute presentations by some of California’s finest emerging talent.

In this presentation from the 2024 MDC titled Cheapskates, Aaron Forest and Yasmin Hobbs of Ultramoderne illustrate how their economical approach to architecture sparks invention and leads to opportunities for lightness and sustainability. Among the projects highlighted: a kiosk featuring a CLT roof with no supporting beams; a performance space with roof trusses turned upside down; and two "tower houses” that share a common roof terrace. As Yasmin explains, “The idea of Cheapskate is a certain resourcefulness, playfulness, but also ecological responsibility and new forms of beauty."
