The project included a 3000 sf three story residence and a detached 750 sf apartment and garage. The design maximized natural light to the house with large windows and with a 100 sf side yard to the south of the house. Incorporated into the house are extensive sustainable design ideas, construction methods, and materials usage. These included on site storm water retention, pervious concrete terraces, advanced framing techniques, finger jointed studs, fly ash foundation concrete, reclaimed fir flooring used as siding, reclaimed cedar window trim, and LEED certified bamboo floors.
