The idea was to tear down a small, dated, inefficient home and replace it with a small, modern, efficient one. To that end we rebuilt on the existing 27′ x 44′ foundation to maintain the site footprint and to lessen the construction impact on the neighborhood by taking major excavation and foundation work out of the picture.
The resultant house is a 1 1/2 story compact home that finds the sweet spot between the one and two story houses in the evolving neighborhood. A simple palate of materials resonates inside and out. The exterior sports a black metal roof and shou sugi ban siding as a rich backdrop to the two natural cedar porches front and back. The interior is white with maple floors, doors, and cabinets, and accents of black lamps and bar stools.
