The building site is located on a hilltop, permitting expansive views of the Russian River Valley.
The house was conceived as a pre-fab /site-built hybrid-utilizing the efficiencies of a pre-fabricated, panelized framing system that was incorporated into custom, site-built construction.
This project involves the design of a new 2240 sqf custom home and lap pool on a 22 acre site with rolling hills and a steep wooden ravine.
As the architect’s own residence, the project was designed as an experiment for green living and a laboratory for learning, testing, and teaching sustainable building concepts within the aesthetic framework of clean,
modern design. Every attempt was made to utilize the most energy efficient systems and sustainable materials within a limited ‘real world’ budget.
Sustainable design was a high priority and every attempt was made to utilize the most energy efficient systems and materials.
This project participated in the USGBC LEED for Homes program and has been certified at the Platinum level.
