SIZE
3000 sqft - 5000 sqft
Situated on a narrow, 70 foot wide lot, this 3,750 SF residence was designed as a secluded ‘get away’ home that the clients could use solely for themselves or to accommodate family and friends.
The home is located in a flood zone, and the carefully strategized site plans reflect these considerations. An important design requirement was to maximize vistas from the house, which was solved by employing a non-traditional floor plan. The main living, dining, and master bedroom accommodations are on the upper floor with direct access to a roof terrace, which allow expansive views of the bay and city skyline. The lower level features three bedrooms and a family room, as well as direct access to the elevated pool and deck areas.
The concept of the layout was to create distinction between the different spaces while maintaining flow between architectural materials and linking all elements together with light, form and repetition. The floor plan reflects these considerations with a distinct delineation between public and private areas.
The uncluttered layout and compilation of simple finishes create a sense of interior and exterior spaces that are expansive and open, without forsaking privacy. The upper roof terrace provides a gathering point for friends and family that is both secluded from the neighborhood and open to the environment.
Nature and the surrounding environment become incorporated into the home as defining features, with a selection of sustainable materials, as well as a design emphasis placed on the value of an indoor/outdoor lifestyle, all realized by ‘state-of-the-art’ construction.
Maintaining the same sensibility towards environmental consciousness, operable windows were strategically placed to allow passive heating, cooling, ventilation, and lighting, thus reducing dependency on mechanical systems for comfort. These fundamental, yet simple, architectural features stand in contrast to the cutting-edge, variable speed HVAC system and intelligent LED lighting control system. Additionally, the photovoltaic arrays contribute to this home’s LEED Platinum certification and Energy Star Certified HERS index of 12. Ultimately, this project unifies enlightened design technique and advanced engineering to create a truly sustainable home with emphasis on comfort, efficiency, and pleasure.
