Following our previous visit to RIOS, we are keeping our Meet Your Next Employer series in Los Angeles this week to explore the work of Cover.
Founded in 2014 by Cooper Union graduates Alexis Rivas and Jemuel Joseph, the company describes itself as one that offers “a turnkey solution for building homes that leverages the power of computational design and precision manufacturing to deliver homes of unprecedented quality.” Archinect spoke with the firm for a 2021 interview, in which the team described its mission as “to make thoughtfully designed and well-built homes for everyone.”
Over on Archinect Jobs, the firm is currently hiring for a Junior Architectural Designer to join their Los Angeles team. For candidates interested in applying for a position or anybody interested in learning more about the firm’s output, we have rounded up four micro-homes by Cover that exemplify the firm’s ethos.
