Utilizing modern
pre-fabrication building technology this home was built off-site in four modules
while simultaneously the site grading, utilities and foundations were
completed. The modules were then shipped from the factory and re- assembled on
site, significantly reducing both construction costs and time, delivering the highest quality structure at the best
value.
To stay within strict
budgetary boundaries this custom home is of modest size and simple form that
recalls unpretentious farm structures. Extensive decks expand the interiors by
allowing for indoor-outdoor living that takes advantage of the mild climate and
ample views. Non-combustible metal standing seam roofing and fiber cement board
and batten cladding conform to local urban wildfire requirements, while
reinforcing the agrarian theme, albeit, with a clean, modern twist. Practical
features include various energy efficiencies, water conservation measures and
environmentally responsible materials.
This house may be an example
of a new, post-recession, approach to home building – modern, sensible and
efficient.
